Juggling your way through the IB
WOAH! I cannot believe its been about a year since I started to learn how to juggle! To be honest, the only reason why I have not posted this a while back is only because I have not been focused on juggling due to the heat from DP2. Previously, I posted an activity plan as well as a reflection post about making the juggling balls and then learning how use them. This time, I’ll go through my progress in terms of the Learning Outcomes I assigned towards the start of the CAS activity.

| Practice makes perfect! |
Despite having started the activity 12 months ago, I do not feel that I can juggle ‘effortlessly’, as I had wished to do so, as mentioned in my past post. Firstly, the simple reason is my lack of practice but secondly, I learned that learning and acquiring the skill is not the same as perfecting and mastering juggling. The latter takes more than just a mere 5.75 hours of practice to accomplish and with that being said, I plan to continue juggling during my free time (perhaps as a relaxation activity for my brain after intensive revision for the exams in May!).
Learning Outcomes achieved through this activity:
① I identified my areas of strength such as controlling the speed of my throws. However, I still need to work on the accuracy and learn how to throw them at a constant height instead of at different heights randomly.
② I undertook the new challenge to learn a new skill.
③ I planned and initiated this activity with the help of a friend to teach me the basic technique and guide me during my first few attempts.
⑤ I dedicated my free time in between lessons in school and after school for this CAS activity. Although I have not been practicing consistently, I plan to continue juggling after the IB!
⑧ I have developed a brand new skill!
That’s all folks and see you next time!
