Wattle Gum Curriculum Year 2 History – Seven Little Australians & Counting

In Year 2 our History focus will be: Local History and Ancient History

We will brush against the national curriculum with our local community focus.
As Grades 1,2 & 3 national history studies are similar, we have decided to take a break.
We’ll be looking at Ancient Israel, Mesopotamia, Egypt and China.
Encourage your child to ask questions about people and events.
Nurture their interest in History.

Our History curriculum, resource recommendations and implementation instructions are in the printable pdf.
