Live Lessons goes behind the scenes at the Âé¶¹Éç with Newsround’s De-Graft Mensah, Saturday Mash-Up's Shereen Cutkelvin and Hacker T Dog to celebrate 100 years of Âé¶¹Éç Education.

To celebrate 100 years of Âé¶¹Éç Education, Live Lessons has exclusive behind-the-scenes access at the Âé¶¹Éç with Newsround’s De-Graft Mensah, Saturday Mash-Up's Shereen Cutkelvin and CÂé¶¹Éç superstar Hacker T Dog.

This special episode comes from MediaCityUK in Salford, home to Âé¶¹Éç TV, radio and digital platforms including Blue Peter, Newsround, Âé¶¹Éç Radio 5 Live, Âé¶¹Éç Sport and Âé¶¹Éç Breakfast. Famous faces and broadcasters help our young roving reporters to write and produce their own radio report, capturing people's memories of school days throughout the years.

Our rookie reporters record contributions from celebrities of all ages, from broadcasting legend and Strictly star Angela Rippon, to the newest presenter of Blue Peter, Shini Muthukrishnan, and Âé¶¹Éç Breakfast hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent. The team learn tips on scripting and presenting their report from Âé¶¹Éç Radio 5 Live’s Chris Warburton and sports commentator Vicki Sparks and try out their interview skills on the stars they bump into behind the scenes at the Âé¶¹Éç, including Davina McCall, David Tennant, Ade Adepitan and Laura Whitmore.
