We invite organisations when we have special events, take children on excursions to explore nature and have fun. During the past two months we had visits from Tracey Bodington from the Travelling adventures of the Minimoshow in Kommetjie, a puppet show from Lucille Boonzaaier from the SPCA and Jolene Palmer from the Early Learning Resource Unit who facilitated a play programme for ECDs,\u201d <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ebrahim says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bodington says the visit to Jumpstart was to create an awareness surrounding the importance of respect and taking care of all living creatures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur visits do not include venomous reptiles. The presentations are approximately an hour long and costs vary as we travel throughout the Western Cape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-presentations\">Presentations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>She also says they offer presentations for all ages which are age appropriate and geared towards all those present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur visit to Jumpstart included that of what to do when seeing a snake, tortoise or lizard. We covered the areas of teamwork (through keeping their eyes open when seeing the reptiles), breathing (through singing), hand signals and the responsibility of taking care of any living creature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMany of the children have not had the opportunity of visiting us at The Cape Point Ostrich Farm Reptile Rehabilitation Centre in Scarborough in Simon\u2019s Town and by visiting them, we were able to share a little of that which we do, in a safe and familiar environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe main focus of the day was to have fun. We offer reptile awareness programmes on our local indigenous reptiles, school edutainment programmes and birthday parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\"
