What does "PHOT" spell? 

Some of you may have encountered this question in your travels, and reacted in a number of different ways. I hope that you were filled with curiosity and determination to solve the mystery.

Our students are constantly surrounded by words, events, activities and questions that do not always appear to make any sense at all. How do we want them to respond? ...............with curiosity of course! We want our students to ask questions of the world around them, and imagine the possibilities of the unimaginable.

So, what does "PHOT" spell?
The "PH" has the same sound as the first consonant in "first".
The "O" has the first vowel sound in the word "women".
The "T" has the sound of the second "t" in "station".

Did you guess it?

How amazing to be able to solve the unsolvable, and to create a challenge for yourself and your students, by playing around with the sounds in the English language and coming up with fascinating "WORDS". 

Your challenge is to "ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE'!
