Let your children try a dictation test from 100 years ago

The CentreVille school in Nyon marks it 100th year anniversary this year with a full day of activities planned on Saturday. One of those is an opportunity for children to take a dictation test which was set for seven year olds, and was part of the curriculum back in 1908. There’s also an opportunity for adults to take a maths test too!

The day’s celebrations begin at 10:00 and go on until 16:00.

There will be a rally taking place in the basement throughout the day (with prizes for winners such as a trip to Europa Park, cinema tickets, chocolates etc )

There’s a guided visit by an architect of the building from 10:30 -11:00 and 14:00- 14:30.

An exhibition of pupils’ art

A concert by pupils (in the church next to the school) at 11:15- 12:00.

There will be even be an ex pupil there; Madame Nelly Wuichet. She was at the school in 1940 and she will recount what her school days were like! (13:15 -14:00 register for this event at the entrance)

The dictation test for 7 year olds will be from 10:30 -11:00 and again at 14:00- 14:30

The maths test for adults will be at 15:00- 15:15

Snacks and drinks will be on sale throughout the day.
