Year 5

During this time, please make sure that you are looking after yourself. Physical and mental health is the most important thing at the moment. I do not want to add any pressure to family life. If you find the activities useful, please use them but please do what works for you and your family. I am here to support you however I can. If you want to contact me, please email headteacher@ethelbert-road.kent.sch.uk between 9 and 3. Please write Mr Adkins as the subject so it can be forwarded on to me. If you want to share what you are up to, feel free to send pictures to be added to our class gallery. This is not compulsory or a way of checking up on you. Please look after yourselves and your loved ones.

Mr A.
