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’.

Please come along to our first Family learning event on Tuesday 27th August at 6:30pm.
Today we enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea! We had sandwiches, cakes and strawberries just like Lucy had with Mr. Tumnus. We even has proper china cups and saucers. Now we are going to enjoy the movie of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
Take a look at our Narnia Display! The boys and girls have just finished reading The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. As a class we created a scene from Narnia thinking about the key settings and characters of the novel. We think it looks beautiful!
The children in P3/4 had a wonderful afternoon at the Falcon Day Centre. We player with children from the nursery and spoke to some of the ladies from the centre. We had great fun using the parachute, playing table tennis, giant connect 4 and bowling. Thank you for inviting us along!
We had a lovely afternoon celebrating with the children who made their First Holy Communion on Saturday. It was great to chat about their special day with a slice of cake!
Last week, we worked as a class to make Turkish Delight because in our novel there was a chapter called Turkish Delight. In the story Edmund is given Turkish Delight from the Queen. The Queen had enchanted the Turkish Delight and Edmund never wanted to stop eating it.
In class we have been retelling the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Today we have got to the part in the story where Golidlocks tried the three different bowls of porridge. To make our writing fantastic we did some work on TASTING.
We used dictionaries to help match adjectives to their meanings. Then a thesaurus to find alternatives to temperature words. Afterwards we practised using different ACTION words to describe how Golidlocks ate the porridge. Finally, we got to taste some porridge!
