We didn't plan to have a strict day to day schooling schedule because we weren't being monitored and we wanted to incorporate as much of his surroundings into his learning. But we looked up what is expected for year 5, 6 and 7 students to make sure he achieved them. All these resources can be found online.

We bought a cheap and portable, fold-able piano and a DVD to help him learn the basics in music.
