Technology at Japari
Computers are taught by a specialist teacher, alongside coding, robotics and digital programmes that support reading, maths and memory. Technology here serves the learning, so every child builds skills they will use at high school and beyond.
Where technology fits in
Technology is part of the CAPS curriculum at Japari, taught in small classes with the same individual support as every other subject.
- All grades
Computers
Computer lessons with a specialist teacher, from keyboard and mouse skills to working confidently online.
- Coding
Coding and robotics
Pupils learn to plan, build and test, step by step. It is problem solving they can see working.
- Grades 4 to 7
Natural Sciences and Technology
The CAPS subject that brings science, design and making together.
- Grades 6 and 7
Project-based learning
Natural Sciences and Technology are taught through projects, so pupils research, plan and present their own work.
Programmes that support each child’s plan
Reading A-Z
An online library of levelled books, so every child reads at the right level and moves up as they grow.
Oxford Reading Buddy
Digital reading practice with quizzes that check understanding, not just decoding.
Matific
Maths games and activities that build number sense through play.
Cogmed
A structured programme that strengthens working memory and attention.
Junior Engineers for Africa
Each year, Junior Engineers for Africa (JEFA) visits Japari with hands-on workshops. Pupils have built Arduino breadboard circuits and taken on memory challenges with Lego. It is a highlight of the year, and a chance for children to see what engineering really looks like.
