Izotsha Primary had an activity-filled week with the intermediate and senior phase inter-house long and short distance galas, cricket matches and World Read Aloud Day celebrations.
The intermediate and senior phase galas displayed some good competition and an enormous amount of exuberant cheering. Panther House was the overall winner, Leopard in second and Jaguar in third. Jaguar won the coveted Spirit Award.
Age group winners were Zara Moodley and Ruhaan Sookdew – U10; Skyla Nadauld and Peter Curtis – U11; Olivia Browne and Peter Koegelenberg – U12 and Ella Bunge and Callum Heydricks – U13.
World Read Aloud Day activities took place last Wednesday. All classes participated – some read individually, some in groups and others engaged in paired, shared reading.
Cricket was played against Creston College. The U13A team won their match by 9 wickets. Creston were all out for 57 after 10.2 overs. Izotsha were 60 for 1 after 8.4 overs. Sphephelo Mlambo scored 19 runs off 19 balls.
Callum Heydricks took 6 wickets for 14 runs over 3 overs and Zyev Mahadev took 3 wickets for 2 runs over 2 overs. Man of the match was awarded to Callum Heydricks. The U11A team won by 44 runs. Izotsha batted first and made 160 runs after 20 overs. Creston batted the full 20 overs and made 116 runs.
Saien Chetty made 62 runs off the bat and took 3 wickets for 17 runs after 4 overs.
