Caine's Arcade

''Come on guys! We can do it!'' I said with spirit as we planned different kinds of tracks for our arcade game.

Last week, it was a rainy day at school and we watched a movie called ''Caine's arcade''.
It was about a boy who turned cardboard boxes into arcade games.

After morning tea, Miss Signal had cardboard boxes standing next to her and when I saw her I knew that she was planning to do something to make our day a lot more fun and exciting!

Miss Signal had said to team up with three people. Ina, Ellen, Maddie and I ended up teamed together and decided to make another version of the Claw. We had been told to start designing our Claw and what will be included for our game. We decided to make the hook for our game out of paper clips and pipe cleaners. We also had to pick out toys that would be great prizes for our game.

Later on, as we were making ''The Claw'' we struggled on one thing the most... it was our track. Our first track we thought was a good idea, but turned out to be a fail because we only had one support for the long track which meant there's only one part of the track that was holding the track. Our second track almost worked but didn't because of the same problem. Our third we were not sure because we were thinking that were it might not work again.
"Come on guys! we can do it!", when all of them were about to lose hope as we planned different kinds of tracks. Later on I found out that a zig zag track would be great so we tried it and worked we were so glad! We got Miss Signal to cut out our track and help us to attach the hook.

There was one last thing to do. Decorating! we added some snakes to make our game harder and to prevent people getting all our prizes. We also added tickets for our game so people have more chances to play and they can come back again.

Today was awesome! we enjoyed everything we did, even though we had a bit of trouble on the way we persevered and found out a way to make a solution for our problem. We had fun, enjoyed building and working together to make our arcade game is all that really matters. Everybody enjoyed our arcade game and had a great time also a fun day.
