Cummings Park Centre

nacomm

Cummings Park Centre managed by Aberdeen City Council will be open for business from Tuesday 18th August 2015.

The Council and other Agencies will be providing a limited programme.

BUT ………. in order for the Cummings Park community to get the activities it wants there will need to be local Community Organisation/s formed to recruit and support volunteers. These organisation/s will develop groups and activities that the Community is asking for e.g. Parent & Toddlers, Under 12’s, Café, Older People Groups. We need local people to come forward and form these local organisation/s.

There will be a meeting on Tuesday 21st July at 6:30pm at Cummings Park Centre for people to come along and volunteer to be part of these organisations/s.

Please take this opportunity to become involved in developing Cummings Park Centre so that the activities you want happen.

Please reply by email to communities@aberdeencity.gov.uk

Eco Group – a sad farewell

Miah

The school Eco group celebrated the last week of term by arranging an Eco Party. Sadly a dedicated member of the Eco Group Miah Allan will be leaving us this year, the Eco Group would like to wish her a great future and presented her with a Bonsai Tree to remind her of her time at Northfield Academy.

Short movies

S1 pupils at Northfield Academy worked on a cross curricular project to research a Scottish Scientist and turn their research into a short comic. They were encouraged and inspired by the enthusiasm of Allan Burnett (author of “Invented in Scotland”) and our fantastic Patrons of Reading metaphrog.
Three comics were selected by metaphrog as best suiting the criteria of the challenge. These comics were then photographed frame by frame and music composed in S1 music classes to create these short films. 
The project was supported through the Scottish Book Trust Live Literature Fund and organised by School Librarian Mandy Wilson.
