Year 1 Sample Lessons

Family Time and Read Alouds

Family Time (also called Circle Time or Morning Time) is time together with all family members. It is a time to encourage truth, beauty and goodness into your day and will likely become a most treasured part of your week. We suggest including your own choice scripture and family devotional in this time. Our Bible History Makers’ resource compliments the Ancient History period and it is an optional suggestion.

If you are teaching a range of children from grades Kindergarten to Year 6 you may wish to only do one Novel and Poet.

Music Appreciation Course: Composer Study and Art Appreciation Course: Picture Study  are found as a separate course withing your My Homeschool Learning Platform. The resources are written with a rotation cycle for Primary. You only need to follow one cycle for all your Primary aged children.

Our History Cycle, which begins in Year 2, can also be easily swapped between grades from Year 2 to Year 4. If you do this, you will also need to choose your child’s additional historical readings and remember to swap the timeline activity as well. (Timelines are only provided for Grades 2 to Year 4).
