What has been updated in the 2026 Version?
- We have totally remade this planner to fit the new 2205/2026 NZC Curriculum Refresh. It includes the new Knowledge and Practice areas.
- Due to the big increase in content for this new curriculum, it has become hard to fit everything in.
- We have had to drop the oral language in this template to make it manageable.
- Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about this. We have reduced the font and formatting as much as possible.
- You are welcome to make your own changes to suit.

Reviews
It is great to have a writing planning template for the refreshed NZ writing curriculum. It is really helping me to get to know and feel confident with the new curriculum, as I have it right in front of me in my planning and teaching. It's beneficial having oral language on the same template as well.
The curriculum links are great but the actually weekly planning sheet is very disappointing. It is a simple grid on the bottom of the curriculum. I expected more from the weekly template, it is not user friendly.
