ENTERTAINMENT. Residents of Rives de Marne and five other nursing homes in the department retook their Primary School Certificate on Monday, November 18. A much more playful version than the one passed at the time.
“The mental arithmetic is impeccable. Spelling is more complicated…” For this resident of the Sommevoire nursing home, the ordeal that awaits her, this Monday, November 18, will not necessarily be a long, smooth river. Seated in the Rives de Marne premises, at the André-Breton hospital, she waits for her copy. With residents from other establishments in the department (Wassy, Montier-en-Der and Le Verger de Saint-Dizier), she comes to retake her Certificate of Primary Studies, version 2024.
Proof revisions
In the activity room transformed into a one-day examination center, Michel Burel, facilitator of the establishment, concocted various tests in mental arithmetic, history-geography, general knowledge, spelling and grammar and of science. “Of course, it’s a fun version that I offer them,” he explains. “We’re here to have a good time and have fun getting our neurons working!” »
And the least we can say is that they have been working for a while now! “Every month since February, they have received test revisions in their establishment,” underlines the examiner of the day, before launching the first exercise, a magic star. Puzzles, riddles and other memory games, like this exercise in which you have to give the date of the events presented in images, punctuated the afternoon, which ended with the presentation of diplomas and the cup to the nursing home which won the most points.
