Juggling Mania

In January 2007 Katharina Baker approached the school to enquire whether our school like to take part in a juggling progamme. We were pleased to accept her offer. We started with one ball, then made our up to two and finally worked our way up to three. Juggling with three balls is called the Cascade. There was a number of tricks we manoeuvred such as, pillars, badminton, tennis, under leg throw ,reverse cascade, right hand tennis, left hand tennis and two balls in one hand. With two people we learned these tricks: three three ten, over head throw, the machine ,three balls with two people, the feeding and the line .In the future we hope to learn new tricks and also perform at a fundraiser for the school and at the Raising of our Second Green Flag. Our juggling teacher Katharina is involved in the multi--cultural festival Gort at the end of May 2007. We hope to take part in this event. Juggling is a great skill and we would like to thank Katharina for letting us have the opportunity to learn. Juggling is an intense activity and we would like to recommend it to others.
