This term we have successfully used Monopoly for our table based rewards. Hundreds of Hotels and Houses have been collected by everyone. Congratulations! In Term 2, I would like to introduce a new system, REESBANK, the online virtual bank account for each of you.

How it works:

You will have a virtual bank account that you can deposit and withdraw virtual money from. When you are rewarded in class for completing work/ good behaviour/ etc, you will be given a REESBANK note with a $ value and a serial number.

At home you log into your virtual bank account and type in the serial number to deposit your reward money. This money will then start to collect interest, currently at 5% per month.

Special Offer

On the reverse side of the REESBANK note is a Special Offer (similar to loyalty cards) that requires you to earn five stamps that will then increase the value of your reward.

Bank Tellers

I need to employ Bank Tellers who will get paid to do some additional tasks. Checking deposits, transferring money, etc. Please leave a comment if you are interested. :mrgreen:

What do we do with our savings? 

This is virtual money, we can’t spend it in the real world. We could just save it and the students with the highest amounts at the end of the term win a special reward. Or, we could spend it with things like buying fun time, renting a class squishie for a day, etc.

What are your ideas about what we can do with our savings?

One of the biggest events that celebrates this is the Olympics, many countries and cultures taking part in a harmonious gathering.  We held our own Chopsticks an Rice Bubble Olympics.  Before competing we discussed the meaning behind the Olympic Flame, Olympic Rings as well as the Olympic Oath and Creed. We then stood, held our hearts in our hands and read the oath:

We swear that we will take part in these Olympic Games in the true spirit of sportsmanship and that we will respect and abide by the rules which govern them for the glory of the sport and the honour of our country.

Let the games begin: Rice Bubble Hurdles, Rice Bubble Archery, Rice Bubble Tennis, Rice Bubble Shot put, Rice Bubble Rugby and Rice Bubble Passitball.
