MEP Primary
The Lesson Plans for Years 1–6 (Key Stages 1 and 2)
correspond to the topics itemised in the MEP yearly schemes of work. There are 4 detailed lesson plans per week
for 35 weeks, with every 5th lesson intended as revision or as an
opportunity for teachers to plan their own Hungarian-style lesson.
Each Lesson Plan has accompanying copy
masters and a corresponding page in a Practice Book. (e.g. Lesson 21 in
Year 1 refers to page 21 in Practice Book Y1)
A link to the Lesson Plans and accompanying support material
