In preparation for our celebration of National Poetry Day, we were lucky enough to have a visit from professional performance poet Kay Walton Smith. Kay shared some of her amazing work with us and even sang one of her beautiful songs. We are eager to see how her visit inspires Rocks Park's own home-grown poets.

2021 Rocks Park Primary School Trek Around The World
Uckfield is on the 50th line of latitude and back in January, we decided to walk virtually along that line in an easterly direction around the world. It’s only taken us 14 weeks – and we have walked, scooted, cycled, skipped and hopped a grand total of 26,170kms!
In the past few weeks we have 'visited' Kiev, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, Russia, islands in the north Pacific Ocean, Canada, Newfoundland and we have now crossed the Atlantic Ocean to return home. Wow, I’m tired and ready for a rest. You can read the whole story here and watch the video for some amazing photos of your treks.
Well done everyone and thank you for taking part in our great adventure.
