Year 2 Course Overview
Year 2 continues to build on the literacy and numeracy foundation established in Year 1, while deepening students’ understanding of the world around them. With lessons in science, history, geography, nature study, art, music, and physical education, students enjoy a literature-rich, well-rounded education inspired by Charlotte Mason’s gentle and thoughtful approach.
Many of our resources link naturally across subject areas, encouraging children to make meaningful connections as they learn. Instead of teaching subjects in isolation, we help families explore ideas through an integrated approach that fosters deep understanding and lasting curiosity.
Year 2A (Term 1 & 2) Summary
English
Students strengthen their core literacy skills through phonics, vocabulary, grammar, and structured writing. Handwriting is practised using excerpts from classic Australian and New Zealand literature, while narration, copywork, and poetry appreciation help build fluency, memory, and expression.
Mathematics
Students develop number fluency with values up to 1000, apply addition and subtraction strategies, and begin exploring grouping, sharing, and early multiplication. Concepts like measurement, fractions, and data collection are taught through hands-on, real-world activities. Weekly Living Maths links add engaging picture books and games to support understanding.
Science & Nature Study
Weekly lessons focus on weather patterns, clouds, seasons, the moon, and stars. Children engage in nature walks, journaling, and story-based science, supported by picture books and short videos that promote observation and scientific thinking.
History & Geography
Through story-based lessons, children explore ancient civilisations such as Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, and Persia. Weekly readings are paired with a hands-on pictorial timeline to help children understand and visualise the flow of history.
Creative Arts & Health
Creative work includes picture study, music appreciation, and literature-based art projects. Children practise nature journaling and explore a variety of materials and techniques. Health and wellbeing are fostered through daily movement breaks, outdoor play, and family-led discussions on social and emotional topics.
Year 2B (Term 3 & 4) Summary
English
Lessons continue with themes of history, the natural world, and how things are made. Students practise narration, copywork, structured composition, and poetry. Handwriting and spelling practice continue with growing fluency and independence.
Mathematics
Students expand their understanding of multiplication and division, explore number patterns, and learn to measure time, volume, and area. They also gather, display, and interpret data using tables and graphs, making maths meaningful and applicable.
Science & Nature Study
Children investigate the properties of light and sound, exploring how energy moves and is sensed by the body. Lessons use read-aloud stories, hands-on experiments, videos, and guided discussion prompts to develop understanding. In geography, students study continents, climate zones, seasonal changes, and the movement of the Earth.
History & Geography
Students continue exploring early civilisations, including Ancient Greece, while also learning about significant Australians through picture books and local studies. With an optional project to deepen connection with local history.
Geography lessons include mapping, landforms, oceans, and global features, supported by narration, illustration, and workbook activities that build vocabulary and confidence in written expression.
Creative Arts & Health
Students continue engaging with art appreciation, music, and creative projects linked to nature and literature. Physical wellbeing is supported through daily movement activities, games, and outdoor play. Health topics are explored gently through stories and day-to-day experiences.
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.

Loving Learning at Home
My Year 2 homeschool curriculum wasn’t working!
It was when my first child, I have four, went into Year 2 that my little homeschool began to crumble. My curriculum was all higgledy-piggledy. I had a few textbooks, worksheets and a collection of other random resources. I was enjoying some of the ‘fun stuff’ everyone said you can do when you homeschool, but I was always worried I wasn’t doing enough for my bright little boy. I felt like I was a failure, and to make matters worse, I was always pushing away my younger children so I could ‘do school’. So I reluctantly gave up homeschooling and put my 7 year old son in school for a term.
Luckily, I tried again.
But it wasn’t until I discovered the Charlotte Mason Method of homeschooling that we all began to enjoy homeschool lessons. I ended up homeschooling my children for 18 years – until my fourth child finished homeschooling and went to university. That little boy of mine is now a doctor, and homeschooling didn’t harm him one little bit! However, my DIY method of homeschooling took a lot of planning because I needed to make my curriculum fit with the NSW Curriculum. I was exhausted! All my homeschool friends had the same problem, we all needed to meet our state homeschool requirements to stay registered (or get an exemption in South Australia). We all had a different way of meeting the requirements for registration.
What We Did?
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.
Since 2007, I’ve helping families navigate homeschool registration and put together literature-rich, knowledge-rich curricula.
Today, My Homeschool has helped thousands of families give their children an inspiring education—without the constant worry of “Am I doing enough?” or “Will I get registered?”
I hope we can help you too!
