Year 4's Recreate Cane's Arcade

King’s hosted an exciting event showcasing the creative talents of our Year 4 students. Inspired by the renowned 'Caine's Arcade,' these young innovators embarked on a journey to explore Newton's three laws of motion and apply their newfound knowledge in constructing their very own cardboard arcade games. Throughout Term 2, our Year 4 students dove into the world of physics and game design. Armed with a specific design brief, they were challenged to work collaboratively in teams, transforming their ideas into tangible arcade games. This project not only nurtured their problem-solving skills but also fostered a sense of teamwork and unity as they worked towards a common goal.

The process of bringing their cardboard creations to life was an adventure in itself. Armed with scissors, tape, and boundless imagination, these young inventors transformed ordinary cardboard boxes into extraordinary gaming experiences. Each team meticulously crafted their own unique game, incorporating the principles of physics and motion to make their creations come alive.

The culmination of their efforts was the grand unveiling of the 'Year 4 Arcade' at the end of Term 2. The Year 4 classrooms and common area were transformed into a bustling arcade, teeming with colourful displays and the sounds of excitement. The younger students and parents eagerly flocked to play the games and enjoy the ingenuity and creativity of our Year 4s.

As visitors explored the arcade, they were captivated by the diversity of games on display. From marble mazes and pinball machines to basketball shootouts and claw crane challenges,  each game offered a unique and immersive experience. The students had truly embraced the spirit of Caine's Arcade, infusing their own creativity and personality into their designs. The King’s Christian College Year 4 Arcade event was a resounding success, showcasing the innovative and imaginative potential of our young students.
