Version: v0.1, 29 September 2026. Status: planning draft; local-syllabus, educator and accessibility review pending. A row is only a teaching brief unless it links an authored lesson. Weeks 1–4 have daily English, maths and integrated scripts; Weeks 3–4 also have five short optional subject menus. These menus are not full Science, HASS, HPE, Technologies or Arts allocations. Reorder to fit the school calendar, prior assessment, locally adopted curriculum and text scope. Exact Year 4 and Years 3–4 band content codes were checked against the pinned ACARA Version 9.0 download, workbook SHA-256 db446882d2c00cf7c085a03e250e2442fda6c44011fc114680c46c1dc7a822c3. Curriculum links are partial until a teacher checks all content and achievement standards across the year.

Weeks 5–40 need authored scripts, source selection, safety/access review, assessment and local mapping before classroom use. Weeks 3–4 still need full other-subject sequences and Languages; their short optional menus and exhibit studio are narrower. The national Year 4 curriculum contains more learning than these fortnights; this map is an editorial plan, not a coverage certificate.
