Hardwork,fun,excitement.......and much more

Eleven teams from across India converged on picturesque Tons, Uttaranchal, to pit their brains and brawns against each other in a bid to emerge All India Champions at the Kellogg’s Cup inme Challenge.

Through two days of intense, grueling competition, the teams were put through a variety of tasks. The events fell under two main heads: Adventure and Helter Skelter. The Adventure tasks involved rock climbing, back packing, trekking, rafting and off road-biking. Helter Skelter had the teams making movies, performing songs and calling on their team building skills. Helter Skelter also had points for team discipline and attitude. In short, this competition tested not just the teams’ physical endurance, but also their creativity, their ability to think on their feet and pull themselves together as a team.

Other Competing schools were: Army School – Jodhpur, Cambridge School, Doon International School- Dehra Dun , Heritage School – New Delhi, Maharani Gayatri Devi School – Jaipur, Modern School – Barakhamba, New Delhi, Pathways World School – New Delhi, Vasant Valley School – New Delhi, Vidya Devi Jindal School – Haryana.

Team Inventure emerged victorious with a total of 506 points out of 600 (333 points in Adventure and 173 points in Helter Skelter) in a hard fought battle that had just two and half points separating them from second place. Anthony Shek set the fastest time of 1 minute 46 seconds cycling uphill for a distance of 900m, while Srinivas Naidu ( both of Inventure Academy) set the record in the Slow Cycling race! Team Inventure had perfect scores in rafting and biking.

The spirit with which this team excelled in even the events they were trying for the very first time is a definite testimony of the culture at Inventure which encourages creativity, excellence in co-curricular activities and independence. The victory was sweeter still for the fact that we triumphed against schools established for far longer than Inventure and with teams known for excelling in these activities.

Inventure Academy is an initiative of the India Learning Foundation, and is situated over 20 acres on Sarjapur Road. With a teacher-student ratio of 1:15, and access to a wide array of extra-and co-curricular activity, students are inspired to realize their full potential and aspire for excellence in all their endeavours.

Arincheyan Gerald and Karan Abrol are among the 80 shortlisted entries ( from over 1200) for participation at the IRIS ( Initiative for Research and Innovation in Science) National Fair, 2009.
This year IRIS is being held in the city of Ahmedabad, between 25-28th November, 2009.
Arin and Karan's study deals with an analysis of colour spectra in Hemidactylus leschenaultii and frenatus or very simply, what causes colour changes in these 2 species of gecko lizards. They were able to prove that colour does indeed change according to the presence of a predator, habitat and time of day.
We wish our budding researchers all the best!!

Snake Wake

I am a snake.
I stay near the lake.
I love to sit in the sun and bake.

I escaped from the zoo.
I will do anything for you,
Just don’t take me back there,
Those keepers are so unfair.

I am a snake.
I stay near the lake.
I love to sit in the sun and bake.

There is a snake charmer near,
Every evening he is here.
He is one man I truly fear.
He is very bad.
With him my fate will be sad.
I tell you that guy is simply mad!

I am a snake.
I stay near the lake.
I love to sit in the sun and bake.

To food I am bound,
And there are many rats in that compound.
But those people will kill me if I am found,
So I sit by the lake and make not a sound.
And sleep very happily inside this soft ground.

I am a snake.
I stay near the lake.
I love to sit in the sun and bake.

Bye, for I can not stay.
As the villagers will come today.
They will take me away,
And make me into a snake soufflé.

I am a snake.
I stay near the lake.
I love to sit in the sun and bake.

This is a short poem which talks to us about the endangered snakes in our environment and how it faces so many dangers such as the snake charmer, the zoo and the neighboring village. Many of India’s snakes are endangered as the people don’t either know how to handle them/what to do with them or are so scared of them that they kill them instantly. More awareness will help us people not harm and protect these interesting reptiles.
