To celebrate this year’s British Science Week theme: Being Curious, Mr Grylls led an inspiring and interactive whole-school assembly that sparked excitement, questions, and wonder across the hall!

The children embraced their inner scientists as they explored four fascinating curiosity fuelled challenges:

Curious About Static Electricity

One volunteer used a balloon to pick up tiny pieces of paper—discovering how static electricity works.

Curious About Density

Another brave scientist took on the challenge of making an egg float. With careful measuring and a sprinkle of salt, curiosity turned into discovery as the egg slowly rose to the top!

Curious About Pressure

Mr Grylls tackled the dramatic “stick through a balloon” experiment—pushing a skewer through a balloon without popping it!

Curious About Air Pressure

Our final volunteer flipped a cup of water upside down… with not a single drop falling out!

Here’s to a brilliant British Science Week 2026—let’s keep wondering, exploring, and discovering!
