A Full Year of Reception Learning — Already Planned For You

40 weeks of child-led activities covering every subject in the

Australian V9.0 curriculum. 

Made by a homeschool mum. Approved by teachers. 
Gentle enough
for real life - without the worksheets!
This is for you if...
Sound familiar?

You're schooling on the

road 

Travelling Australia and want to keep learning ticking along without it taking over your days.

You're new to homeschooling 

Just pulled your child out of school (or never sent them) and not sure where to start.

Grandparents are

involved 

The extended family wants to help — and having the curriculum mapped out means everyone's on the same page.

Your child learns

differently 

Child-led, hands-on, low-pressure activities that work for kids who don't thrive in traditional settings.
Kids learn best outside or hands-on.
Not always at desk.

Consider this your guide to ensure you cover everything needed, while following your child's curiosity

Am I covering everything I'm supposed to?
"I have no idea what a Reception kid is actually meant to learn this year."
My parents keep asking about 'the curriculum'
"I want to show them we're on track — without turning our days into a school schedule."

I've got the ideas. I've got the willingness.

"I just need someone to map it out so I'm not starting from scratch every week."

That's exactly what this guide does.

Everything mapped. Nothing overwhelming.
40 Weeks of Activities
A full Reception year, broken down week by week. Every week covers every subject area — in simple, doable activities a child will actually want to do.
Learn at your child's pace, it doesn't have to follow the school year. 
Australian Curriculum Aligned
Built against the latest Australian Curriculum v9.0. Each activity is tagged with its curriculum code — so you can show anyone exactly what's being covered.
Instructions Page
A simple guide to how to use the curriculum, how to record evidence, and how to adapt activities for child-led days. No teacher training required.
Printable Weekly Planner
Print the weeks you need, or keep it all digital. Notes and observations sections on every page so you can track what happened — without a separate system.
A snippet of a week

Every learning area. Every term.

The full Australian Curriculum for Reception, broken into child-friendly weekly activities — not a worksheet mountain.

Sample activities: 

Designed for real homeschool life

Not a rigid school-in-a-box. 

A flexible, child-friendly framework you can pick up, put down, and adapt to suit your day.

This could be considered a more 'unschooling' approach.

      A few things people ask

      Can't see your question? 

      Please email hello@margieandtim.com.au and we can answer your question :)

      • Do I have to follow it in order?
        Nope. The weeks are designed to build on each other across the year, but if you skip a week, jump around, or take a month off for travel — that's completely fine. Use it as a guide, not a rulebook.

      • What if my child doesn't want to do an activity?
        Follow their lead. The activities are ideas, not instructions. If your child is obsessed with something else entirely, that counts too — the instructions page explains how to connect their interests to the curriculum areas.

      • Is this the latest Australian Curriculum?
        Yes. It's mapped to the Australian Curriculum v9.0, which is the current version used in schools across Australia. Each activity includes the relevant curriculum code.

      • Can I use this as evidence for my home education registration?
        The weekly plans and curriculum codes are a great starting point for your learning plan. Add photos of your child doing activities, and you've got solid evidence for any review. The instructions page walks you through exactly how.

      • What format does it come in?
        It's a digital download — PDF format, ready to print or use on a screen. You'll get instant access after purchase. Print as many copies as you need for your own family.

      • Is there a Year 1 and Year 2 version?
        Yes — Year 2 is also available. Check the shop at margieandtim.com.au for the full range.

      • I don't think I could be a teacher
        Good news! You don't need to be! This guide serves as a template for you to get curious along with your child. All you need to do is help guide your child in the right direction.
      • Do I still need to apply for a homeschool exemption if I purchase this guide?
        Yes, please check for your state/territory, as they all have slightly different rules. This guide can help form evidence of your plans to homeschool as it follows the current Australian curriculum.
