The Foundation’s Schools team helped to celebrate the end of the ‘home-learning’ period for many students, with a specially broadcast online assembly earlier this morning.
Hosted on Zoom by the Foundation’s Premier League Primary Stars Officer Jake Mardell, the 20-minute assembly focussed on both Premier League and Norwich City Football Club values, and how students could incorporate these into their everyday life.
There was a video appearance from City defender Jacob Sorensen, who wished students well ahead of the coming week.
The assembly was watched live by more than 500 students across a range of age groups, including classes from Necton Primary. Catton Grove Primary, Fakenham Junior, Old Catton Junior, Horsford Primary, Mulbarton Primary and Bluebell Primary.
@nectonseahorses really enjoyed being part of the @NorwichCityCSF Mega assembly this morning thinking all about values and reflecting on our own resilience. Thanks for the shout out! #megaassembly
