The mysterious object

The Mysterious object

As we sit there, watching, we see the great king of literacy attempt to make a simple, round object made of the following; Poisonous, disgustable raisins; bitter, dark cocoa; bland, tasteless coconut and oats. We stare, involuntarily, as the imperator starts to amalgamate all the ingredients together using a food processor and the reverberation coming was execrable. The concoction was starting to come together.

As we slowly started to receive the horrible looking mixture, we rolled the conglomeration into a small spherical shape. After that, we all waited for the other people to finish rolling their interfusion into a ball-like figure. The object looked so incredibly inedible, that it already looked like I didn't want to eat it. After that, we rolled the globules in either utterly, bitter cocoa powder or grated, bland pieces of coconut.

After that, we talked about how it felt like, looks like, smells like and tastes like. We thought of different words to describe the truffle. After that, we ate the globules. It was the moment that I was dreading. Then, I ate a small bite. It was abhorrent at first, but then I had a bit more and I discovered that it was actually not  all that bad.

For the last part, we had to make a piece of writing about the mystery balls that we made and ate which is what you are reading now.

Bliss Balls

Bliss Balls   7/8/2017

Ever seen, felt and smelt something that you thought was amazing but then a plot twist happens? Well that is what happened to me in literacy today. We were making Bliss Balls. Now you are probably wondering, What the heck is a Bliss Ball? Well my friend a bliss ball is a healthy truffle like ball. It is made out of Sultanas or Raisins, Oats, Cocoa, Coconut and Coconut Oil.

The bliss balls looked like lumps of chocolate waiting to get inside my mouth. The bliss ball looked squished up like banana. The bliss ball looked rough like a rocky mountain. It looked absolutely glorious. It was to die for.

When I felt the bliss ball it felt squishy like gooey slime. The bliss ball felt sticky like glue. When the bliss ball rolled around on my hand the coconut felt rough like bark on a tree. It felt moist like a used damp towel.

The bliss ball smelt like pure dark chocolate about to be gone. The bliss ball smelt mouth watering like a nice refreshing ice-block. The coconut smelt like a glorious lamington. This ball smelt like something you've never smelt before. It smelt like heaven.

Then the time had come it was time to taste the bliss ball that looked, smelt and felt amazing and glorious. I bit into the bliss ball with high anticipation. Then all of a sudden (bite) the raisins are so juicy. It tasted absolutely disgusting. It was sickening like a five month old block of cheese. It was so chewy like uncooked steak. It tasted like a complete disappointment. It tasted like something people eat from the garbage. It tasted like poison, I hated it. I definitely regret it.

Robotics Class - We are getting there!

This week we used our Learning Powers in our Robotics class. We persisted and asked for help when things got tricky. We also collaborated and problem solved when we got stuck.

This week we continued to build our robots. Some of us started to learn how to programme them to move in straight lines and stop at a certain spot. We are still working on this! Next week we will be learning to turn corners.

To make the robots move we use a programme on the Macbooks. We use the Action Blocks and decide on the Power/ Speed and the Duration/ Distance numbers. It is a lot of trail and error. We just need to have a go and learn from our mistakes.
