TypeError: object is not a function in using MongoDB with Node.js

I was going through question and it asked me calculate minimum value of score for each child in class. I wrote the following source code.

I am using Mongo 2.6.9 and Node v0.10.25 and ubuntu 14.04 LTS

var MongoClient=require('mongodb').MongoClient;
var server=require('mongodb').Server;

var mongoclient=new MongoClient(new server("localhost",27017));

mongoclient.connect("mongodb://localhost:27017/",function(err,db){
if(err) throw err;

var db=mongoclient.db('school');

cursor=db.collection('students').aggregate(
[
  {$match : {"scores.type" : "homework"}},
  {$unwind:"$scores"},
  {$group : {_id : '$name',
  'minimum' : { $min :"$scores.score"  }
}
}
]);
});

This aggregate query when run using node app.js gives this error

/home/oroborus/node_modules/mongodb/lib/mongodb/connection/base.js:246
        throw message;      
              ^

Which according to me is coming from the aggregate function. But when i run the same query in mongo terminal i get a proper output.

cursor=db.students.aggregate( [   {$match : {"scores.type" : "homework"}},   {$unwind:"$scores"},   {$group : {_id : '$name', 'minimum' : {   $min :"$scores.score"  } } } ]);
{ "_id" : "Myrtle Wolfinger", "minimum" : 35.99397009906073 }
{ "_id" : "Gennie Ratner", "minimum" : 34.50565589246531 }
{ "_id" : "Nobuko Linzey", "minimum" : 19.27081566886746 }
{ "_id" : "Flora Duell", "minimum" : 40.68238966626067 }
{ "_id" : "Shin Allbright", "minimum" : 52.68629677727286 }

Ques- What and where is the mistake and how to rectify it .

Thanks.
