Year 4 Course Overview
Year 4 builds on your child’s growing independence with a curriculum that deepens knowledge and strengthens essential skills.
This course is aligned with the Australian Curriculum, as well as the NSW and WA Curriculum. Inspired by Charlotte Mason’s gentle philosophy, our program encourages curiosity, narration, and connections across subjects—helping children see how ideas relate and come to life.
Year 4 – Semester 1 (Terms 1 & 2)
Semester One deepens curiosity and independence through classic literature, living science, and world discovery. In My Homeschool English 4A, children practise clear written expression with lessons in grammar, spelling, composition, and vocabulary drawn from rich texts and poetry. Aesop’s Fables Copywork strengthens cursive fluency while nurturing moral imagination and attention to language.
Science unfolds through three living-book style studies. Plant Life in Field and Garden introduces the hidden life of plants, roots, and flowers; Every Creature Has a Job explores how animals and humans move and survive; and The Water Cycle reveals how evaporation, rain, and rivers shape our world. Gentle experiments, nature observation, and narration make learning both practical and wonder-filled.
In History Makers 4A – Kings, Queens and Conquests, students journey from the Norman Conquest through the Middle Ages, meeting rulers, explorers, and reformers who shaped nations. Geography comes alive through Pleasant Talk of Places: Africa and South America, a story-rich introduction to cultures, climates, and wildlife across two vibrant continents. Enrichment continues through poetry, picture study, art, and music, while Work Out World and family-friendly PDHPE habits keep minds and bodies active.
Year 4 – Semester 2 (Terms 3 & 4)
Semester Two broadens horizons through the sea, science, and stories of Australia’s beginnings. My Homeschool English 4B builds strong paragraph writing and confident comprehension with themes of water and sea exploration, while Downunder Classics Copywork (Year 4) connects children to Australian voices and literature.
Science turns to the forces that move our world in Science Strands: Forces, Motion and Materials, where children experiment with gravity, magnetism, and the properties of matter through lively readings and hands-on inquiry. A Seashore Nature Study invites close observation of tides, shells, and marine life, weaving in Aboriginal perspectives on caring for Sea Country.
History completes the year with History Makers 4B – A Changing World, tracing discoveries, inventions, and revolutions that reshaped nations. Australian history and civics are explored in First Contacts and Early Australia, where students learn about First Nations connection to Country, early settlement, and the purpose of laws and leadership in community life. Creative arts, music, and design-and-technology projects (from simple crafts to digital creations) provide joyful outlets for expression, rounding out a balanced and beautiful Year 4 of learning.

We Use A Blended Learning Approach
At My Homeschool most of your lessons will be completed offline (reading from a book, doing a field trip, or writing in your notebooks) and some will be online learning (watching videos, reading online etc.).
All our resources are digital and are located on Moodle, a renowned online learning platform used by many schools and universities. Using this format means we give you exceptional functionality which enables you to record your progress, and access your lessons from various digital devices and locations. This format also enables us to keep our resources fresh and dynamic.
A laptop, tablet, or desktop computer is needed to use our courses. Access to a printer is also necessary. PDFs can be downloaded and printed for offline reading but other resources can only be viewed from our learning platform.
The majority of our classes require reading from a real book or paper-based resource. Writing exercises involve pencils and paper and many lessons are oral or conversation based.
Video lessons require access to the My Homeschool learning portal.
A Co-ordinated Curriculum
My Homeschool offers parents the confidence that their child is gaining knowledge, learning content, and developing skills in an age-appropriate way. This is achieved by presenting courses that follow a rich curriculum that ensures your child builds on their knowledge year after year. From Foundation to Year 10 your child will have the benefit of a streamlined curriculum without overlaps and unnecessary busywork. Our program development is inspired by the education philosophy of Charlotte Mason and the Australian Curriculum (which includes the NSW & WA Curriculum).
Registration and Reporting
At My Homeschool, we do not do your registration plans for you. Registration applications are meant to be specific for each individual child and so parents are the best person to do this. However, we make your registration (or an exemption) so much easier because we provide so much support for this process. All our courses includes:
- An Education Plan offered in a format that you can individualise for your child;
- A Scope and Sequence showing how My Homeschool reflects the Australian Curriculum and NSW Curriculum;
- End of Term Report templates;
- A printable week-by-week planner with plenty of space to make notes specific to your child (no need to purchase a separate planner!); and
- An online Weekly Planner, complete with links to all the online resources required.
We also provide you with access to our State Rego and Planning Course which guides you through your homeschool application when using our courses. We give you a shortcut to help you get straight into giving your child a delightful and robust education without spending days and days researching and tweaking unsuitable content.
Parent Support
When you buy a course through My Homeschool you are joining a community that supports and mentors parents interested in educating their children academically and spiritually.
We also have an extensive library of homeschooling resources, including resources on the specific registration and reporting requirements of a number of states and territories. Whether you are just starting out or have homeschooled for years, there is something to teach and inspire you.
Curated Content
Loving Learning at Home
My homeschool friends, Helen and Margaret, were Charlotte Mason evangelists. They could see that I wasn’t coping with my textbook approach to homeschooling, and they were trying to help me see the value of using real books for educating my kids. They were always suggesting this or that book and I just couldn’t see how I could add all those extra books into my day – I was already overloaded!
Finally, I listened. I read a book on how to use the Charlotte Mason method. Helen and Margaret were right. I now understood how it could be done. I switched to living books. This was the turning point in my homeschool.
But I had one other problem to solve! How could I get registered if I gave up textbooks?
All my homeschool friends had the same curriculum compliance problem, we all needed to meet our state homeschool requirements to stay registered (or get an exemption). We all had a different way of meeting the requirements for registration.
What did we do?
Some homeschool friends gave up their educational philosophy and went back to worksheets, textbooks, and online tick the box products, some went unregistered and hoped they wouldn’t get caught, some sent their kids back to school and some just lied about what they taught in order to pass registration. One friend even moved states just to avoid registering in NSW. None of those are good options!
But I found a solution.
In 2007, I began helping families get their homeschool registration and put a curriculum together. Ten years later, my team and I launched My Homeschool – a complete and coordinated Charlotte Mason inspired curriculum from Foundation to Year 10. We’ve now helped thousands of families give their kids an inspiring education without having to worry about the stress of: ‘Am I doing enough?’ and “Will I get registered?’ I hope we can help you too!
