Instructions for Pupils
For this activity, you are going to pretend that you run a farm sanctuary. Farm sanctuaries are places where rescued farm animals like cows, pigs, and chickens live. They are different from a normal farm because the animals are never used for food, and live out their natural lives there. Your farm sanctuary has just rescued a pig, who was sadly found abandoned in a dumpster.
1. You will use play dough to create a home for the new pig.
2. Your home must include all 6 things a pig needs to be happy and healthy, which are: (1) friends, (2) water, (3) mud, (4) food, (5) shelter, and (6) space.
3. Take a 
of your pig's home when you are finished.
