Many students prefer not to join in whole group discussion but are happy to talk in small groups.

We are in the process of updating these materials which will become available as they are completed.

The following resources have been updated:

We expect to add to both of these resources over the coming years.

Meanwhile, the original Farm Animals & Us Teachers’ Pack contains a range of activities designed to promote group discussion and analysis of ethical values including worksheets and lesson plans. These include:

Additional teaching resources are available at:
