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’.

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!
On Wednesday the Primary 4s and 5s visited the Library to meet Scottish Author Janis Mackay. Janis spoke to us about using inspiration and imagination in our writing. She also told us about her award winning novels; Magnus Fin and The Accidental Time Traveller. After hearing about her stories we had the opportunity to begin our own novel!
Primary 1 and Primary 2 would like to say a huge thank you to Primary 4/5 for showcasing their amazing musical talent. Primary 4/5 have been learning to play the tin whistle and we all thought they were fantastic. We especially liked Jingle Bells.
We had a lovely day celebrating the feast of St. Fergus today. We attended mass at the church with Fr John where we shared all the things we enjoy about our education in St. Fergus’ Primary.
This afternoon we had a celebration in the gym hall. We had sweets and juice and watched a lovely Christmas movie.
