Scope: the exact normalized descriptions cited across the authored Year 2 Weeks 1–4 packs, including the official Years 1 and 2 bands for HPE and Arts. A cited code means an activity supports part of a description; it does not establish complete teaching, individual achievement, local adoption or authority approval. The pack crosswalks identify each selected activity and its evidence boundary.
