YOYO: You're Only Young Once

A fun way of learning about God and the Bible. What adults used to call Sunday School.

How Does YoYo Work?

YoYo is held on Sunday mornings, except during the holidays. Children and teachers attend the first part of the family service and leave for their YoYo classes after singing some ‘action’ songs. We have classes for different age groups with children starting on the academic year during which they have their 4th birthday and continuing up to age 14. YoYo is held in Dunvant Primary School at 11am on Sundays. For the under 4’s we also provide a Creche.

When does YoYo take place?

YoYo operates broadly to the same pattern as school terms. With the exception of the summer holidays, we may have a special event to coincide with the end of term or half-term holidays.

How do I get there?

We are happy to pick up aged 4 and above and drop off children at their home for YoYo. If you want to know more or make arrangements for the bus, contact John Davies on 01792 207492 or email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it

Age Groups

Reception: children 4-5 years old

Because this age group will most likely not be reading yet, the emphasis is on activities that build knowledge through repetition, and lots of hands-on activity. Children aged 4–5 are wonderfully exuberant, active, and curious. Joyful noise is an important part of YoYo through songs, play, Bible stories, and conversations.

Years 1 & 2: (6-7 years old)

Children in this age group are active, hands-on learners. It is important to employ a variety of teaching methods, which provide opportunities for active participation and take into consideration their short attention spans and beginner-level reading and writing skills. Encounters with the Bible are through drama, storytelling, crafts, and the arts. Through active engagement with the Bible, imagination, the arts and the global Christian community, 6–7 year olds deepen their faith, their relationship to God and each other.

Years 3 & 4: (8-9 years old)

Hands-on exploration of Bible stories through arts, activities, and imagination harness the enthusiasm of this age level. Encounters with the Bible through age-appropriate activities create connections to the whole church that will last a lifetime. Materials provide global context and extend the concept of learning to home, the community, and the world. Learning together, this group enjoys games, activities, and arts experiences.

Years 5 & 6: (10-11 years old)

By using a variety of ways to explore the scriptures, Ages 10-11, brings the Bible to life and allows opportunities to explore faith and the world.

Years 7 to 9: (12-14 years old)

Encourages youth to develop their faith. This class aims to nurture young people, especially focussing on encouraging and developing spiritual disciplines such as prayer and worship.

Teachers

Many of the YoYo teachers have been involved in Sunday School work for a number of years and still manage to have bright smiling faces that make the kids feel welcomed. We are fortunate to have quite a few helpers for the teachers too to ensure a safe and happy environment.

Child Protection

We have a Child Protection Policy which is independently accredited by Churches' Child Protection Advisory Service (CCPAS). All our teachers have undergone an enhanced disclosure and have been vetted.
