Wednesday 19^th April 2017 Class Council

During Class council this week we discussed a moral dilemma. We listened to a story about two boys who found some money in the street. We talked about what we should do if we ever were faced with the same situation. We had lots of valid points to make.

Maryam “They have to write a message and send it to the house and then people in the house can be contacted.”

Isabelle “I think they should leave it where they found it because the person who lost it would then come back.”

Darcie “They could knock on the door and see if it’s theirs.”

Phoebe “A robber might have taken a £20 note.”

Jacob “I think they should go around the houses asking who’s money it is.”

Olivia “I think they should write a letter saying “who’s lost some money?”

In the end, we concluded that we should tell an adult who would then contact the police or take it to a shop/supermarket to see if the money could be returned to the right person.
