Parent Information – Emotion Works
Helping your child cope with their emotions at home
At St. Fergus’ Primary, we adopt a whole school approach to emotions awareness and regulation called Emotion Works. Your child/children have had lots of input on this and should be aware of each cog and what it means.
Emotion Works helps your child to understand why they feel particular emotions and be able to relate these emotions to a trigger (cause) and find a way to calm down and self-regulate. Expectedly, with the current ongoing situation, everyone will be feeling a range of emotions on a daily basis. We hope this flier will be useful to you in helping to keep your child/children calm in what is an uncertain and strange time for us all. It will also promote positive continuity and a recognisable vocabulary since this is what we promote in St. Fergus’.

Anti-bullying: Respect Me Policy- Parent’s Focus Group
All parents are invited to a focus group on Monday 21st January at 3:15pm led by Mrs Rowley and Brian Donnelly . At this group we will be looking at our new Anti-bullying: Respect Me Policy.
Throughout Term one we consulted with all staff, pupils and parents what our anti-bullying policy should include.
We have taken into consideration all views and have created a first draft of this policy.
We would appreciate as many parents views on this draft policy and make any amendments required to ensure that all views are represented in our final policy.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Well Done Father John !
Father John had the great honour of speaking at the Scottish Parliament on Tuesday 20th November.
Father delivered a wonderful reflection about young people and St. Fergus’ even got a mention!!
His reflection ended with a thought of us encouraging our children to grasp the possibilities of tomorrow. This is a thought that we do daily in St Fergus’.
