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 the ground easily.

Why do you think this creature is called Hamfish? Now to make our Hamfish alive we should find all the examples of Present Simple in the text above. For example: He lives… Let’s help Hamfish live happily in GrammArea!

Great! Dear friend, now it’s time for your magic creature! Don’t be shy and draw it, but please, don’t show it to anyone yet!

Play! Let your friends guess what your magic creature looks like. Let them ask you some questions about this creature and you should answer only “yes” or “no”. The questions can be as follows: Does your creature have long ears? Is your animal black? Does it have a tail? Does it have a cat’s head? Does it have a family? Does it have a name? Does it have many legs? and so on.
