Mixing Lenses

January 2024

We are delighted to bring you a new set of thinking for teachers by Jane Brooke. Jane has been a teacher and adviser in the RE world for many years. As Canon of Chester Cathedral, Jane was involved in education around science and faith and created a resource for teachers to explore these in the classroom, around the idea of ‘Mixing Lenses’. Jane puts together educational thinking and suggested lesson ideas to allow Primary teachers to explore the ways scientific language and religious language can overlap. For readers who are not Primary teachers, don’t be put off- there is lots here for Secondary- age students. The aim of the resource is to support pupils in making sense of the world using language at the interface of science and Christianity.

Read more about the work behind this resource in Jane’s blog.

Here we present for your reading and experimentation, Jane Brooke’s ‘Mixing Lenses’ paper and teaching ideas.

Please contact Jane if this is something you would like to develop, she is keen to hear from teachers: jane.brooke@chestercathedral.com
