The Balaclava Boys

The children have been investigating stories with issues and dilemmas and have enjoyed the story of ‘The Balaclava Boys‘ written by George Layton. The story tells of a boy who desperately wants to be in the ‘gang’ of friends at school who all wear their balaclavas (this story is from the 1950’s when children often wore balaclavas in the winter!) but he doesn’t have a balaclava of his own. He finds a balaclava on the cloakroom floor at school and decides to steal it, only to get home and discover that his mother has bought one for him! What should he do next?
