The couple paid a visit to White Woman Lane Primary School to meet pupils and celebrate this year's Premier League Writing Stars competition.
Tom and Anna spent some time with Year 5 pupils at the Sprowston school, getting involved in a poetry lesson led by the Norwich City Community Sports Foundation.
The competition has returned for a third year, with primary school pupils aged five to 11 across England and Wales encouraged to write on the theme of ambition.

After listening to the pupils' poems, they discussed the personal goals and aspirations that they themselves had written about.
Tom said: "Each of them have different feelings and ambitions and I'm very proud to be part of this and to hopefully inspire them. I think it's a very good project and will help them in general for the future."
His wife Anna added: "It's nice to see such young kids already having a dream."
