Today was a day of big city running in Sydney.
Margaret Krempff, a local, met our first runner a couple of km from the accommodation at Sydney Harbour YHA at The Rocks and guided her through the streets ...
... to St. Peter's Public School.
The principal, Neil Lavitt, led us through to the courtyard ...
... where the students greeted us enthusiastically.
The school leaders Theo, Olly, Ofa, Ross, Asher and Alysa received the Certificate of Appreciation.
We were impressed with the students' fluid and confident reading.
Sharon Blair, another local runner from Sydney, ran with us to Taren Point Public School.
The children greeted us with high fives.
We continued to the classroom through a veil of multicoloured tissue streamers.
We gave our presentation to classes 1, 2, 5 and 6.
