Our Spring Term Project is ‘Numbers, Shape, Colour and Pattern’!
Do you ever wonder why we put so much emphasis in the preschool years on teaching numbers, shape, colour and pattern? Why is this so important for young children?
Our Project for the Autumn Term is ‘All about Me!’
Learning about ourselves is a fundamental part of childhood development, especially as children start to ask questions about who they are and how they are the same, or different, from others. Naming different body parts, recognising similarities and differences between human beings, and the importance of exercise and healthy eating all form important aspects of our ‘All about Me’ project.

Our project for the Spring Term is ‘Shapes, Space and Structures’
Last term the children took great delight in learning about colours in our ‘Colours and Shapes’ project. There are so many great activities that support this area of learning that we found time was running out, and before we knew it, Christmas was upon us! Although we started to touch on the ‘shapes’ element of the project with the children, there is really so much to explore.
So, for this term we will be really focussing on the shapes that make up our world, and how these shapes can be joined together to form spaces and structures.
For the summer term we are continuing with our project, “Space”!
Last term the children started a fabulous project all about space. We focussed on the Earth, the sun, the moon and the stars and the children were fascinated to explore our galaxy. We will be continuing with the space theme this term as there are still lots of topics that the children would like to find out more about. We will talking to them about black holes, space launch systems, comets and meteors!
Our Summer Term Project is ‘Around the World’!
This term at Chrysalis we will be taking the children on a world-wide adventure exploring some of the different continents and countries on our planet.

Our Project for the Autumn Term is ‘Nursery rhymes’!
Experts in literacy and child development have discovered that if children know eight nursery rhymes by heart by the time they’re four years old, they’re usually among the best readers by the time they’re eight. –

Our Project for the Summer term is “Planting and Growing”
Providing growing and gardening opportunities for young children enables them to connect with the living environment, something that not all children have access to often enough.
Our project for the Spring Term is ‘Traditional tales and fairy stories’
This project is always incredibly popular with Chrysalis children and gives us the whole realm of children’s literature and folklore to draw upon.
Why do young children enjoy a traditional story so much?
