World Book Day

For: Early Years & Key Stage 1

Visitor Information

We look forward to welcoming visitors to the National Memorial Arboretum this Easter holiday. Please be aware that planned improvement works on the A38 at Lichfield, in place from 27 March to 8 April, may affect some visitor road travel. The Arboretum will remain open daily as normal, from 10am – 5pm, and signposted diversion routes will remain in place to support journeys impacted.

Centring around Julia Donaldsons ‘The Stick Man’ and our very own book ‘Arbie and the Magical Lights’, we are encouraging students to develop a love of reading and stories.

 

During the day the students will listen to the stories through immersive storytelling, explore our outdoor Stickman Trail and take part in interactive classroom activities.
