Have you ever watched Britain's Got Talent?

​

The judges can decide to press the 'golden buzzer' if someone has really impressed them.

Gold confetti falls and inspiration music plays. One day I had the idea...why not do the same in my classroom to celebrate something special a child or group of children have done. 

​

How does it work?

I use the Youtube video that I have made, called 'Golden Moment'. 

Every day  I have the video ready, minimised on my computer desktop. It is primed to be used at a moments notice. 

​

I spot something amazing and special that a child has done, for example, the first time they decide to challenge themselves or helping other children. I save the golden moment for those real special, memorable moments.

​

When I have spotted something special, I get a part popper/party cannon out of my basket, then 'press the golden buzzer' as I get the Youtube video up and hit play.

​

"Who is it going to be?"  ....... "Its..." and I announce the child's name and set off the party popper so that they are showered in gold confetti or the party popper. I capture the whole moment on a school ipad (usually filmed by a child). 

​

The child will then get a special golden moment certificate and a golden moment video filmed in front of a green screen. I use the ipad to film the child in front of a green screen  (fabric). I can then use a green screen app by DOINK to put the purple 'Golden moment' video behind the child. 

​

This video then gets uploaded to our online learning journey Tapestry, for the parents and family to celebrate together at home. 

​

.....and that folks is a Golden Moment.
