WE ARE WORKING IN PAIRS – 1 PAIR WILL CREATE THE LAWS; AND

THE OTHER PAIR WILL WORK ON THE LANGUAGE AND

ARCHITECTURE. WE WILL COMPLETE THE REST TOGETHER.

REMEMBER WE CAN’T TALK TO EACH OTHER, JUST

VIEW OUR VARIOUS PICTORIAL LANGUAGES.

THE TOP SECRET INVENTION REQUIRES EACH GROUP TO TRADE FOR

MATERIALS TO CREATE A ‘CATAPULT’. THE FIRST SOCIETY TO

COMPLETE THIS TASK, ENDED THE SIMULATION EXPERIENCE.

ASK YOUR CHILD WHY THIS WAS THE CASE!
