The Trial of Goldilocks v. The Three Bears

The KII Class performed the show The Trial of Goldilocks v. The Three Bears.  The show is a courtroom trial with Goldilocks on the witness stand.  She has some friends who say they saw her on the day in question and that she was just going to get something to eat and drink at Baby Bear's House because he had invited her over for a play date.  The Three Bears were upset and wanted her to be punished.  In the end, a mediator meets with both sides and helps Baby Bear and Goldilocks solve their problem peacefully by using "I messages".
