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 which comes with a comprehensive Digital Companion Page containing Lesson Plans, PowerPoints, videos, online games & activities, classroom posters, supplementary activities, a self-assessment tool and much 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.

You can LOOK INSIDE the books to see their content by selecting either the teacher book or pupil book option from the dropdown menu above. The look inside feature will appear under the dropdown menu.
