🎃FrEaKy FrīDaY FACT! 👻

Do you know…

Rats have what appears to be a “laugh centre” in their midbrain that is activated when the animals are tickled or when they engage in play behaviours. Researchers first discovered that rats could laugh in 2016 after they found tickling the rodents on their belly and back sent them into fits of squeaky giggles.

You can see scientific videos of this online…so strange! But also quite funny 😆

Happy Friday Everyone! 💜

Do you know what this means?

Freaky // Friday 1️⃣3️⃣ // Fact

Early reading skills can affect children’s academic success.
Reading daily exposes you to a vast quantity of words, providing vocabulary benefits.
If a child read for 20 minutes per day, that would be exposure to around 1.8 million words in each school year!

Reading often helps to improve writing skills too.
Essentially, the more words your child reads, the wider their vocabulary is likely to be.
And a wide vocabulary makes a child’s writing more interesting and impressive.

They’ll discover new ways to convey meaning, articulate their thoughts, use figurative language, and engage readers’ emotions. This can help them become stronger writers, whether working on a short story age 10, an essay age 13, or a college application letter age 17.

Reading also stimulates and enhances children’s imaginations and creativity too, the list of benefits goes on and on.

It’s good to encourage and support your child’s reading, and we’re here to do that too.

We have small libraries in each of our Edinburgh Centres, with various types of books for all.

Please feel free to borrow a book to take home.
Happy reading! 📚📖😊

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We cannot tell you how happy we always are to receive such amazing feedback! To know we are making a difference is honestly amazing. More importantly than that, to know our students are achieving, developing, thriving is the greatest reward.

We truly appreciate anyone taking the time to give us feedback and reviews.

Every student is different, every student needs different things from their sessions. If we all work together, your child will get the most they can from our tuition. We encourage all parents and guardians to talk with us, come in at the end of sessions to speak with the tutors, give us a call, send an email or message. We’re here to help in whatever way we can.

So delighted these students are making progress! 💜

THANK YOU for these wonderful reviews 🙏🏼 😊

Following on from our Fun Fact Friday, we thought we would shed some light (pun fully intended 😂) on a word we used.

So the word this week is:

PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Have you heard this word before?
Do you know what it means?

Answer down below ⬇️











photosynthesis
(noun)
the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.
"during photosynthesis plants absorb CO₂

Hope everyone had an amazing weekend!
Love from all the team 💜

FUN 🤩 FACT 😁 FRIDAY 🥳

Do you know…
🌳Trees prepare for winter❄️

One of the most stunning signs of autumn is the turning of the leaves. The shorter days are a sign to trees to begin to prepare for winter. 🍂🍁

During winter there is not enough light for photosynthesis to occur, so as the days shorten throughout autumn, the trees begin to close down their food production systems and reduce the amount of chlorophyll in their leaves.

Isn’t nature incredible?!

Have a fab Friday everyone, stay dry out there! 💜

Let’s shine some light on…

🔦 NEWINGTON 🔦

Have you been to our NEW Newington MagiKats before?

Have you met our Newington Centre Manager Arun?

Here is Arun in his natural habitat - helping students! 🙌🏼

We moved not so long ago into a bigger and better space for all our Newi students. Everyone has loved having a bigger centre!
We want the best for our students, so we strive for exactly that.

Plus it gives Arun more room to boogie 😂

Newington has gone from strength to strength 💪🏽 and we are so proud! With new session days opening up, we look forward to welcoming more students here.

If you’re passing by if an evening, be sure to look in the window…you might just catch Arun busting out his shapes! 🕺🏽 😆
