Primary School" --- # Exploring Our Feelings with The Colour Monster 🌈 ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-stephen-s-ce-primary-school/images/blog/IMG_0216.JPG) 2 October 2026 [Reception Blog](https://www.ststephenscofe.durham.sch.uk/blog/category/reception-blog) This week we have been reading a story called The Colour Monster. This is a lovely story about a little monster who is feeling lots of different emotions but does not understand what they are. The story has helped us to recognise, name and talk about our own feelings. We now know that all emotions are normal and that it is okay to feel different emotions at different times. We were able to talk about ways to manage our feelings and how to ask for help when we need it. We all created our very own colour monster using colours from the story which represent different feelings.
