Goldilocks and The Three Bears Workshop 

The children had the opportunity to handle real equipment used by a police officer and discover through role play and questioning what makes an officer! We created an interactive courtroom workshop based on the popular fairy tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears. Children dressed up, and explored the roles in a courtroom. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and loved acting out the different roles! Poor Goldilocks was found guilty and her punishment was to clean up the leaves in the woods for four weeks!
