The Welcome to Well-Being programme is a multi-year programme for children from Junior Infants to First Class. It is designed to enhance childrens well-being across all dimensions social, emotional, spiritual, physical and mental. Enhancing childrens well-being can lead to a wide variety of other successful outcomes including increased academic performance, better relationships and increased resilience (Waters, 2011; Park amp; 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. More information and samples available are available on the Welcome to Well-Being Homepage.
The Teacher Book B: Good to be Me with Meet Mo amp; Ko! comes with a Digital Companion Page which contains PowerPoint presentations for each lesson, supplementary worksheets and classroom posters and much more. The pupil book has two activities per lesson as well as a home, as well as a homework activity. A pull-out parent guide is included in each childs Pupil Book to support parental involvement.
The theme of the programme is that two little aliens called Mo and Ko have come from the planet Zo to help children to 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.
