1) The special paste is called slip which is used for sticking the clay together.
2) White chocolate is not a classified chocolate since it does not have any cocoa solids or cocoa beans.

I really enjoyed Ancient Maya day/DT! My favourite part was making the Mayan vessels. At first it was hard making the first coil as I was struggling. However, throughout the morning it got easier and easier. By time we finished it was lunchtime. After lunch we classified chocolate and mad a double page spread about where chocolate originated from.

the special glue was slip and when we mixed warm water with clay it created a type of glue
it is mot chocolate because
Because it has no cocoa liquor, white chocolate has very little caffeine compared to regular chocolate.
White chocolate contains cocoa butter, milk solids, sugar, lecithin and flavorings (usually including vanilla).
The melting point of cocoa butter, its primary cacao bean component, is high enough to keep white chocolate solid at room temperature, yet low enough to allow white chocolate to melt in the mouth.
Cocoa butter is one of the most stable fats known, containing natural antioxidants that prevent rancidity and give it a storage life of 2 to 5 years.
White chocolate goes well with lemon, berries, or milk and dark chocolate.

I loved Mayan day. Thanks to the teachers who helped set up Mayan day! My favourite part of the day was making the clay pots. When making the Mayan pots, they usually take 3 hours and we started at 9:50. Then after a few moments, it was already lunchtime! I never knew time when so fast. The paste we used to stick the coils onto the base was called slip ( a mixture made by clay and water). The mayan pots we designed were absolutely phenomenal. We learned chocolate is not classified as chocolate because it is mainly cocoa butter and sugar, not with cocoa beans at all.

Can you tell me what that is called?
Is called silt

How amazing did they look?
They looked nice

Did you know white ‘chocolate’ isn’t even classified as chocolate? Why?
White chocolate is a delicious alternative to milk and dark chocolate – but there’s something you need to know about it. It turns out that, despite the name, it isn’t actually chocolate at all. White chocolate is classed as a chocolate confectonary, meaning it’s not pure chocolate, which doesn’t contain any solids.

1)The special paste was called ‘slit’.
2)They looked amazing ! :)
3)White chocolate isn’t classified as any other types of chocolate this is because in white chocolate they do not contain cocoa beans or cacao beans they only have coco butter which forms into a whitey colour for the chocolate, when tasting it tasted like vanilla !

To ensure that the pieces stuck together, we had to create a special paste. Can you tell me what that is called?
The special paste is called slip.
We created our name in Maya hieroglyphs. How amazing did they look?
They all looked amazing however I do feel bad about the people who have an r (for example Harris) in their name as it is very hard to do an r in Mayan hieroglyphs.
I do not know why white chocolate is not classified as chocolate.

Can you tell me what that is called?
This ‘special’ paste was called slip. It was basically a glue for clay but made of clay and water.
How amazing did they look? (Rhetorical question answered)
They were alright once we had put our names on the Mayan vessels.

  I didn’t really know that white chocolate wasn’t classified as chocolate.
  But, it isn’t classified as chocolate because it is just cocoa butter mixed with sugar, often with a little vanilla added for flavoring as well as it contains just little particles of cocoa (cacao).
  According to the internet, White chocolate is classed as a chocolate confectonary (confectionary), meaning it’s not pure chocolate, which doesn’t contain any solids.
  Overall, the Mayan day was an alright day.

1) This is called slip. We got excess clay and poured warm water in and mixed it to make our slip for our maya vessels.
2) They looked amazing when we etched our names in Mayan hieroglyphs
3) This is because it doesn’t have any cocoa mass.
