Task : Make a coin . The coin must feature a head and be the size of your head . Most fabulous coin wins .
Right , we would love to see you being really creative with this one . What could you make your coin out of – Play-Doh , mud , papier-mâché , edible ingredients , actual gold …?! Can you make it shiny ? We can ’ t wait to see all of your new AQUILA currency and maybe we ’ ll try to pay for something with it … or maybe not .
We ’ ve got lemon heads , anguished screams , and that screaming sunflower was a little disconcerting , Ella !

In the September Taskmaster challenge , Little Alex Horne asked you to recreate a famous artwork with yourself in a starring role . What we have concluded is that AQUILAnauts are pretty exceptional at pretending to be works of art .
‘ With my first ever AQUILA I decided to participate in the Taskmaster challenge ! I browsed the internet for a famous portrait until I found The Son of Man by René Magritte . My mom helped me with taking a picture and photo-editing . It was fun to try all sorts of fruit to make it happen – kiwi , pear , fig ... until we found the perfect lemon !’ By Svetlana , age 8
We think that is a pretty great life skill to have ! Here are this month ’ s scores :
