Our Leeds Baby Bank Appeal We would like to thank all the families who have kindly donated to our Leeds Baby Bank collection this year. We managed to collect dozens of bags filled with baby clothes, nappies, toiletries and other supplies that will help support local families this Christmas. The Baby Bank were extremely grateful and wanted to let everyone know how touched they were by your generosity.

Country of the Month - Iceland As the weather turns much colder in January and February, we wanted to learn more about the icy cold country of Iceland. We already know a little about this small island nation, as we celebrated one of their Christmas traditions on Christmas Eve - Jolabokaflod. The children will be learning about the Icelandic flag and all the animals that are found there, such as the Narwhal, Humpback Whales, Seals and the Arctic Fox. Did you know? People in Iceland do not have traditional surnames, instead they take on their father’s name. If the father’s first name was Jacob, the daughter’s name would be Helga Jacobsdottir (dóttir is Icelandic for ‘daughter’) and his son’s name would be Olaf Jacobson.
