At key points throughout the school year, YoYo deliver their 'It's Your...' programmes for primary schools. There are currently four 'It's Your...' programmes.
It's Your Christmas is a fun programme run in the lead up to Christmas, helping the children to think about the real meaning of Christmas. The programme consists of an action packed 30 minute whole school assembly which presents the message of Christmas in a fun way through interactive drama and music for all school pupils. We also offer schools a Year 1 workshop where we help the children to focus on the nativity story using storytelling and crafts, and a year 4 workshop exploring the message of Christmas through interactive and creative teaching, games and activities.
It's Your Easter is a spring term project which aims to share the key message of Christianity, Jesus’ death and resurrection. The programme consists of a whole school assembly which presents the message of Easter in a fun way through interactive drama and music for all school pupils. We also offer workshops for year 2 and year 5, helping the children to further explore the message of Easter.
It's Your Move is a summer term project aimed at Year 6 pupils who are about to make the transition of moving up to secondary school the following term. The project consists of a whole school assembly on the subject of 'moving on' (especially aimed those who are soon to be leaving primary school), and an interactive lesson for Year 6s to help them think through and tackle some of their thoughts or concerns about moving onto secondary school. The underlying theme of It's Your Move assemblies and lessons which we communicate is our belief that the children can have confidence in the new challenges they face because God goes with them and has really great plans for their future. It is also a great chance to get to know some of the children that we will see in secondary school and invite them to the clubs we run there; for them it is reassuring to know that they will meet a familiar and friendly face as they settle into their new school.
It's Your Bible is a spring term project helping year 6 children to learn more about the bible. Through three interactive 1 hour lessons, we present a memorable Bible overview involving drama, rap and discussion. Over the three weeks the children learn the basic story of the whole bible, right from Genesis to Revelation. During each lesson we learn some hand actions to help us remember the different stories and there is always a great question time at the end.
