fish and chips or drink Coca-Cola?

      They want several new dresses from the petals of the flower below. Can you help them?

      Note! With He, She, It: If a verb ends in –y, there are two ways:

      – change -y for –ies (worry-worries) – a consonant + y = a consonant + ies

      – just add –s to the verb (play – plays) – a vowel + y = a vowel + y + s

      It depends on the letter that goes before “y”. Pay attention to it, my friend.

      Now tell Sally what butterfly gets a deny dress?

      You’re right, the first one! And the dress will change: deny – she denies. Now you try to help the butterflies.

      Wonderful! The butterflies are happy now! Thank you!

      Zoo! To understand the rule above better, let’s read a poem about Homya. Find all the things Homya does.

      Meet Homya Homich from the Zoo

      At the Zoo there lives a hamster,

      Homya Homich is his name.

      And he’s got his friends around –

      All of them are in the tale.

      Guard Nickiforich is here –

      He is not exactly friend.

      Homya sees him – cries and worries –

      So, this guard is hard to stand.

      Homya stays with guard Petrovich –

      Always pleasure he displays.

      Hurries to Petrovich’s house,

      Where he just enjoys and plays.

      Homya is all good and furry –

      Never friendship he denies.

      Always brings something delicious –

      With Petrovich corn he fries.

      Talk! Wonderful! Look at the picture above, my friend. Can you name everyone in the picture? Who’s there behind the tree? Does he look friendly? Who do you like best from this poem? Whom would you like to meet? Why? What does Petrovich have for Homya?

      Now Sally has more work to do. She has got two other magic pots for planting flowers. Who wants to help this time? Guess from the poem:

      Oh!

      Feast now!

      Toast and butter!

      Eat, munch and crunch!

      Now it makes me feel good!

      Do you know who it is? Pay attention to the first letters of each line.

      Plant each flower that you see in the picture into the right pot! Say the magic words (Mrs. Often helps you), for example: He (she or it) often works hard.

      Homiq is so impressed with Mrs. Often’s work that he makes up a poem about her. Please find everything that Mrs. Often does!

      Mrs. Often is hard-working

      Mrs. Often is so clever – she works hard and home she goes.

      Often flies from here to there – carries bags and never groans.

      When she finishes her washing, fixes she and mends all things,

      Often kisses she her children – often joy and gladness brings.

      Dear friend, whom do you like best – Mrs. Always or Mrs. Often? Why?

      Help the hamsters

      The hamster called Never has got a very naughty son. His name is Never Junior. Look at him. He is in picture below. It seems that someone is very untidy…

      By the way, are YOU sometimes naughty? Why yes? Why no? Never Jr. usually, every day, always, often does very naughty things and disappoints his parents. But we’ve got a magic hat and a magic wand, haven’t we? So, let’s help Never Jr. behave better! For this you should read everything that this hamster does (from the list below) only adding his magic (!) name to it and remembering how to plant flowers. For example: He NEVER teases a friend. You should try to be very convincing and serious while doing this magic or it won’t work! Now, let’s start!

      Tease a friend

      Stick out his tongue

      Make a mess in his room

      Break a chair

      Eat only sweets the whole day

      Come home in messy dirty clothes

      Get to dinner with dirty paws

      Go outside without his parents’ knowing it

      Walk in dangerous places

      Meet a big bad wolf and talk to him in a friendly way

      Brilliant! Good job! Thank you!

      HamFish

      All the hamsters that come to GrammArea are asked to make up any magical creature, draw it and describe its habits. Then they use magic to make this creature alive!

      Homiq and Hammy also have some ideas about it. Homiq is here to tell us.

      We’re glad to present to your attention the wonderful HAMFISH! (You can see it in the picture above). He lives in all waters, especially in the Hamster Sea, which is in Hamsterran Area of GrammArea. He needs water, fish, chips and burgers! He uses underwater stones, sand and plants or even shells to build his house. A she-hamfish has babies from 5 to 12 centimeters long. Babies can have different names: Flyer, Swimmer, Hammy, Lucky, Cheeker, Waterhom, Eater, Racer, Whiskers. An average hamfish has got whiskers from 10 to 20 centimeters long. It is a very clever animal. It walks on
