- Does Year 1 start with decodable readers?
- Will Year 1 be using PM data? Start of year, end of the year?
- Clarification around EAL children and timetabling - is priority language and it's ok to miss Maths/UOI?

ANSWERS
Decodable take home books in Pod Library from Week 3.
Post decodables, PM available from green onwards (case by case basis)
PM: Benchmarking end of S1 and S2 (case by case for extension students)
EAL: Priorities remain the same with regards to Language, there may be some unavoidable double up

Language - the name of our curriculum, as reflected in the PYP
Students learn to become literate and develop literacy skills through the Language curriculum
