Trinity Learning has been going for ten years, providing a unique kind of support to schools. Rosemary ,who runs Trinity Learning, asked local schools to design a new logo.

This one from a child at Carswell school did not win.

Neither did this mood board showing a development of ideas with a final idea.

Neither did any of these designs win. All were very good.

The winning drawing was by seven year old Olivia from St Peter CE Primary School in Wootton. The design shows a dove flying out, and the judges felt this captured the essence of the work done by Trinity Learning – setting staff and children free to go in peace. The wings of the dove also looked like a hand. The children’s future is in our hands.

Professionals from MCC Design (in Long Hanborough) then transformed the winning drawing into the final logo.

These drawings, and many more, are on display at 35 Ock Street over the the next couple of weeks. There will be a prize giving in March.

Lent Lectures
The Church in Abingdon annual Lent Lectures began this evening at Trinity Church. They run for five weeks.

Lent starts on Ash Wednesday – after Shrove Tuesday, 5th March, and ends on Easter Sunday, 21st April. Some people gives something up for Lent, and give the money to charity instead.

Today was also the hottest February day on record in some parts of the UK – the first time a temperature of over 20 c has been recorded in winter.

We could do an environmental pledge this Lent. Any ideas?

The mist lifted and we enjoyed a sunny February Sunday here in Abingdon-on-Thames.

The view changed quickly. St Helen’s Church steeple was looking like a mirage when I walked across Abingdon Bridge.

On the way back, the steeple was clearly reflected in the water next to East St Helen Street.

The blossoms near to Abingdon Bridge gave a pretty way of framing the Old Gaol.
