Christian was welcomed by headteacher Tina Birds before visiting a number of classes in an exciting morning for all involved. He sat down with Year 5 students to listen to their reading and help them to choose their next books, before taking part in ‘Goalball’ – an inclusive sport designed for those who have a visual impairment.
The midfielder later got stuck into playground life with Year 6 pupils and Foundation coaches, throwing dodgeballs and knocking down hula-hoops, leading to beaming smiles across the faces of the young people. The excited children were overjoyed by the sight of the Manchester United first-team player, as they took part in physical activity in line with the Premier League Primary Stars programme, which is delivered across all 28 of the Foundation’s partner primary schools.
