A number of S1 pupils will attend evening workshops at RGU with a variety of themes including Making Ice Cream with Chemistry and DNA taster.

S1 pupils at Northfield Academy worked on a cross curricular project to research a Scottish Scientist and turn their research into a short comic. Working with our fantastic Patrons of Reading Metaphrog, and inspired by the enthusiasm of Allan Burnett (author of “Invented in Scotland”), this short film documents the journey the project has taken so far, showcasing the work pupils produced. The project was supported through the Scottish Book Trust Live Literature Fund and organised by School Librarian Mandy Wilson.
