Role-playing during P.C. lessons
During the pastoral care lesson today, Tommy acted as a boy who found a two-dollar note in the school.
What do you think the boy should do instead?
Ifa, Felicia Peh and Dean teamed up in the next role-play. Felicia acted as a girl who was asked by her mother (Ifa) to get some groceries. Dean acted as a beggar.
Why did the girl lie to her mother that she had given the money to a beggar?
Do you think what she did was right? Why?
