The #BBC trialled its first broadcast to schools 100 years ago today in Glasgow.
While many people have fond memories of music broadcasts such as Time and Tune and Singing Together, wireless lessons covered a variety of subjects (including geography!).
100 years ago today, pupils at Garnetbank school in Glasgow listened to the UK’s first ever school broadcast. It was made by 5SC, a local station run by the BBC.
