What is life ?Life is a role to inspire.Life is love to feel.Life is a song to sing.Life is an expanse to have.Life is happiness to enjoy.Life is a struggle to sparkle future.Life is a challenge to meet.Life is tier to remember.Life is study, always incomplete.Life is talent to give it to other.

What is Life?Niharika Singh (Class VI)

One song can spark a moment, One flower can wake the dream.

It’s up to youDimple Nagwani (Class VI)

One tree can start a forest,One bird can herald spring.

One star can guide a ship at sea,One word can frame the goal.

One vote can change a nation,One sunbeam lights a room.

One candle wipes out darkness,One laugh will conquer gloom.

One step must start a journey,One word must start each prayer.

One hope will raise our sprit,One touch can show you care.

One voice can speak with wisdom,One heart can know what's true.

One life can make the difference,You see, it's up to you.

Best book - LifeBest report- Duty

Best dress - SmileBest shelter - TruthBest hobby - ServiceBest relation - Love

Best food - ThoughtBest insurance - Good deeds.

1. Failures prepare us for success.2. Arise Awake and stop not till the goal is reached.3. Patience and silence are two powerful energies. Patience makes you mentally strong and silence makes you emotionally strong.4.Speaking without thinking is like shooting without a target.5.The main difference between attitude and ego is that "Attitude" makes you different from others !! While "Ego" makes you alone from others !!

Brighton International School is now affiliated to Central Board of Secondary Education with the CBSE affiliation number as 3330153. School has successfully met all the conditions and requirements laid down by the CBSE. Talking about the same, school’s Principal Mrs Jayshree Nair emphasized about the commitment of Brighton to quality and also thanked all the parents for their cooperation. The entire school celebrated the enduring moment by a ceremonial cake cutting ceremony. Chairman Sir, graced the occasion with his presence and words of encouragement for students and teachers. The process started in July and post inspection in December, the process ended with affiliation in the month of March.

With profound joy I wish to share the blissful moment for the organization of being got affiliated with the elite group of CBSE schools. This golden feather was added to our crown by none other than the ardent students, staff and above all the parents who left no stone unturned.

Brighton gazes into a prospect to grow up with multifaceted talents in the time to come to satiate the need of the market. With the advent of scorching heat, summer has set in, the sessions are at its concluding part and we, Brighton International, at our end are planning a new dawn in the month of April, a session to be more innovative, creative and fun oriented where learning will never be a burden, where as it will always be a joy. Communicative English is the growing need of the present era; a weapon, which can foster child to unbound heights, Brighton vows for such an ambiance to prosper. In continuation to that RAYS is one of the platforms provided to them where they can showcase their talent and creativity. This edition carries a thought process made by the students which at the same time got vouched by their teachers to bring this issue in a much more effective manner.

My counterparts in this arena, who are my extended arms, always remained with their untiring efforts to make all the dreams come true. I extend my heartfelt thanks for their commendable job. I wish to take the privilege to thank and congratulate the parents to accompany Brighton in this beautiful journey for the session 2011-12 and look forward for a better synchronization in the coming days. Hope this version of RAYS will definitely add colours to your thoughts.

Kids told teachers enough of learning L for Lion from the book, its high timeteachers showed them one. Junior se-ction paid a visit to the local zoo wherekids saw all the animals in actions.

How to keep our country green and clean why can't we make more efforts to dispose our garbage in a proper manner ? To achieve that we will definitely need a much better waste collection and disposal system along with small but sustained efforts from each citizen to keep the public spaces clean. The minimum we need to do is.........

The only answer is recycle------conserve-----and---n-e-v-e-r p-o-l-l-u-t-e. Today we have "green nanotechnology" to deal with all our environmental problem. Greentechnology is only the solution that does not damage or deplete the Earth's naturalresources and demonstrates less damage to humans, animals and plant heath, aswell as to the world by using and recycling and reducing the amount of waste and pollution that is created during production and consumption. Some other environ-mental technologies that retain sustainable development are water purification,sewage treatment, solid waste management, renewable energy and others. Weare responsible to keep it clean and green because, "Don't ask what your countrycan do for you. Ask what you can do for your country”.

India is slowly moving ahead in terms of GDP, development and economic power. The rapidly growing environment and population problems in India are putting a strain on the environment, infrastructure, and the country's natural resources.Industrial pollution, soil erosion, deforestation, rapid industrialization, urbanization, land degradation are over exploiting the country’s resources be it land or water, they are all worsening problems.

When flies buzz around in a trainIt is going to rain.Small raindrops come pouring downSending people running around.

When it RainsAkshita Bhadoria (Class V)

Frogs jump into puddlerlife appears chaotic and muddledBut who cares we enjoy slurping up warm noodles.A dog scamper away when from trees fall dropsAnd people wonder if it will ever stop.

I love rain even though it goes down the drain,For me be it India or SpainNothing can be better than showers or rain.

When the star is ten times more massive than our own sun, it explodes and leaves behind the strangest phenomenon in the universe, "The Black hole". After explosion what is left behind is heavy core of subatomic particles, a Neutron star. It can be very small, but with enormous density Scientists calculated that approximately one teaspoon of Neutron star would weight around billions of tons. The gravitational pressure of this highly dense object is so large that it can bend fabric of time and space. This theory is based on Einstein's preposition, that space and time are woven together in a flexible fabric. Massive objects like sun warp the fabric of space and time and pull smaller objects like earth.

The Polar bear never makes his bed.He sleeps on a cake of ice instead.He has no blanket, he quilt, no sheetExcept the rain and snow and sleet.He drifts about on a white ice floor.While cold wings howl and blizzard blowAnd the temperature drops to (-)forty and belowThe polar bear never makes his bed.The Blanket he pulls up over his head.Is lined with soft and featherly snow.If ever he rose and turned on the light.He would find a world and bathtub white,And icebergs floating through the night.

Funny QuestionsJuli Pal (Class VII)

Very large neutron star can warp time and space fabric so much that it could create a hole where gravity is so strong that not even light could escape. Black holes are pulling everything around them closer to the centre of the hole. In some sense, black holes are creatures of the galaxies since they are pulling planets and stars towards the spiral centre. Each galaxy has a black hole and occasionally galaxies collide together because of the gravitational pull from the larger black holes. It is expected that in 5 Billion years andromeda galaxy will collide with our milky way galaxy.

Think of ThemBy Akshita Dubey (Class VII)

1.When you complain that food is tasteless and refuse to eat. Think of those who die of starvation.

2.When you complain that you don't have fashionable clothes. Think of those who don't have a single cloth to cover their body in chilling weather.

3.When you complain that you don't have latest shoes. Think of those who don't have legs.

4.When you complain that your bedsheet is not of your choice. Think about those who sleep on the floor or, road or pavement.

The Sahara DesertBy Ishaan Kansal (Class V)

It is believed that the Sahara Desert has been formed due to the breaking of food chain. It was earlier a grassland in olden times, the Romans capitulations, which resulted in the reduction in the lion populations. This in turn resulted in the increase in herbivore population which lead to overgrazing. The overgrazing removed all vegetation. In this way, the 'Sahara Desert' was formed.
