Science, music and nature festival at Aberdeen University

Science, music and nature festival at Aberdeen University

North-east pupils will visit Aberdeen University this week to learn about science, music and nature as part of the Marathon Oil Schools’ Festival.

The school’s event is a precursor to the main May Festival, taking place from Friday until Sunday, and featuring a host of big names including veteran war reporter Kate Adie, Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess and journalist and author Tony Parsons.

Pupils will take part in activities ranging from workshops in sounds of space and Scotland’s secret species to the weird and wonderful world of senses.

There will also be an array of history-themed events where youngsters will learn about Vikings, Ancient Egypt and World War I.

A dedicated Children’s May Festival will also run over the weekend with free fun including diddi dancing, a magic show, a look at life under the sea, Gaelic songs, Bookbug sessions and tales by torchlight.

There will also be face painting at the King’s College campus, stilt walkers and a unicyclist, life-sized animals, a photo booth and car boot science.

Meanwhile, festival goers with a love of the outdoors will be able to take advantage of a range of environmental-themed events at this year’s festival.

These range from tours around the Cruickshank Botanic Gardens to a screening of Project Wild Thing – a real-life story of one man’s determination to get children out and into the great outdoors.
