Year 3 Course Overview
Year 3 invites children to explore the world with growing confidence and curiosity. This course is aligned with the Australian Curriculum, as well as the NSW and WA Curriculum frameworks. With a gentle and thoughtful approach inspired by Charlotte Mason, lessons are designed to spark interest, encourage narration, and build connections across subjects, helping learning feel natural and alive.
Year 3 Semester A (Term 1 & 2) Summary
Year 3 – Semester 1 (Terms 1 & 2)
Semester One invites your child into a warm rhythm of literature, nature, and hands-on discovery. In My Homeschool English 3A, children practise clear, beautiful writing through short, explicit lessons in spelling, grammar, vocabulary, narration, and picture study—anchored in classic stories and poetry. Copywork in foundation cursive (with Beatrix Potter’s delightful characters) builds neat, confident handwriting and a love of language. Science unfolds through living books and observation. Backyard Nature Lessons turns your garden into a daily lab: students meet insects, worms, and spiders, then capture findings in a guided Nature Journal. My First Science: The Solar System adds simple astronomy—day and night, moon phases, the order of the planets, and star-spotting in southern skies— with gentle activities, curated video links, and a family-friendly stargazing habit. History comes alive in History Makers: Alexander to Augustus, a weekly story-led journey through Ancient Greece and Rome and the beginnings of Christianity. Children also explore civic understanding with Australia’s Special Days and deepen national identity through the hands-on Australian Flags Lapbook. Beauty and balance round out the week: poetry and music appreciation, picture study and art invitations, plus simple Health & PE woven into family life—movement, healthy routines, and “healthy conversations” that nurture wellbeing.
Year 3 Semester B (Term 3 & 4) Summary
Year 3 – Semester 2 (Terms 3 & 4)
Semester Two extends skills and deepens curiosity with rich books, real-world science, and story-driven geography. In My Homeschool English 3B, students grow from strong sentences to well-formed paragraphs and simple reports, with copywork and dictation to polish accuracy and style. Downunder Copywork (Year 3) features classic Australian and New Zealand literature—an inspiring way to practise foundation cursive while absorbing memorable language and imagery. Science focuses on God’s world under our feet and the invisible world of particles. The Living Earth explores rocks, soils, landforms, and the forces that shape them through narrative lessons, experiments, and notebooking. In Term 4 The Story of Matter and Heat Energy makes states of matter and heat delightfully concrete with everyday examples, gentle experiments, and curated video links. Geography blossoms with Exploring Downunder: a panoramic, Charlotte Mason–style tour of every Australian state and territory before stepping to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, the South Pacific, and New Zealand—supported by the Discover Downunder Notebook for maps, atlases, and structured geographic writing. Meanwhile, History Makers: Turn of History continues the grand narrative so children connect places, peoples, and time. Enrichment continues with poetry, music, picture study, Australian nature stories, and simple, family-friendly PDHPE—keeping learning joyful, balanced, and meaningful.

Additional Resources Needed (Not Included)
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
Cathy had been using a homeschool program made up mostly of workbooks and textbooks. Her children worked through it independently while she played little part beyond marking. She didn’t realise there was another option.
When she discovered a Charlotte Mason–inspired education, something clicked. The thought of reading together, discussing real stories, and learning through living ideas instead of busywork lit her up. She knew this could be a turning point for her family.
But one question still held her back: How could she meet her state’s homeschool registration requirements without a textbook-style Year Three curriculum?
She wasn’t alone. Most home educators feel this same pressure. We all want to offer a beautiful education and still meet government expectations. Unfortunately, the stress of registration can make many families lose confidence in their educational philosophy.
When that happens, it’s easy to start compromising on the very reasons we chose to homeschool in the first place.
The results? Some give up and return to worksheets, textbooks, or tick-the-box online programs. Others stay unregistered and hope they don’t get caught. A few send their kids back to school—or stretch the truth on their reports—just to keep their approval. One friend I know even moved interstate to avoid registering in NSW! None of these are ideal solutions.
But I found a better way.
In 2007, I began helping families prepare their homeschool registration and put together learning plans that reflected their values. Ten years later, I launched My Homeschool—a complete and coordinated Charlotte Mason–inspired curriculum from Foundation to Year 10.
Since then, we’ve helped thousands of families give their children an inspiring, story-rich education—without the constant worry of “Am I doing enough?” or “Will I get registered?”
The good news? There’s more than one way to stay registered—and you can do it confidently with a knowledge-rich, living books education.
