In the Junior School we follow the English National Curriculum,
but with some modifications and additions, taking into account our
location and international profile. In this overview, it is not possible
to state all that is covered in each year in each subject, but we have
tried to give just a sample of the kind of work that goes on in each
year group, to give an idea of the different levels. |

The Technology lessons in Hebron Junior School are divided into
three strands – Food Tech, Textiles, and Resistant Materials

but Resistant Materials Tech is mostly in the classroom, except for
Stds 5 & 6 who go to the Technology Room for their lessons and
are taught by a specialist teacher. Textiles is taught in the classroom. |
