Have you done/considered the IYCA cert? Ben can attest to the relevance and usefulness of the content for what you are proposing.
I agree with Ben - keep it fun, lots of games and you can divide them up according to age group within a class. Alternatively if interest is adequate, you could even run 2 seperate classes.
You can even promote some leadership qualities in some of the more skilled older kids and have them guide and teach some of the younger ones.
Just some thoughts..
