Description

The Welcome to Well-Being programme is a multi-year programme for children from Junior Infants to First Class (Ages: 4-7+). It is designed to enhance children’s well-being across all dimensions – social, emotional, spiritual, physical and mental. Enhancing children’s well-being can lead to a wide variety of other successful outcomes including increased academic performance, better relationships and increased resilience. (Waters, 2011; Park & Peterson, 2008).

The programme is based on Positive Psychology, which is the science of well-being. It is designed to be implemented as part of the SPHE curriculum. The theme of the programme is that two small, gender-neutral aliens called Mo and Ko arrive from the planet called Zo to help children feel happy, strong, kind and brave, loving and well. Each week they introduce children to a new idea and they set a challenge for the children to try it out for the week – at home as well as at school. The characters Mo & Ko are gender-neutral – to order a gender-specific version, please click HERE.

The three levels in the programme are:

Each level consists of:

  • Teacher Resource Book (including a comprehensive Digital Companion Page containing PowerPoint of Lesson, Supplementary activities and more)
  • Pupil Book (including activities for each lesson, homework activity and a pull-out parent/guardian/carer guide to encourage support and involvement at home)
  • Poster Pack: 12 x A3 (45cm x 32cm) posters, printed on card and stored in a polythene sleeve for safekeeping. These are the same posters (but larger and printed on high-quality, silk-finish, 300 g/sm card) that are included in the back of the Teacher Resource Book and on the corresponding Digital Companion Page.

The Welcome to Well-Being FULL Starter Kit contains 6 books & 3 sets of Posters – one of each of the following:

The Welcome to Well-Being BOOK Starter Kit contains one of each of the 6 Books only – no posters included.
