Posted: Sunday, January 18, 2015 Word Count: 482 Summary: This was fun to write, and I think it would be fun as a readaloud, with the reader giving their own expression to the nonsense words! It's only a draft and all comments - however structural - are well received. I'm not sure whether to give the first two penguins names, or maybe describe in some other way than 'the first penguin' and 'the second penguin'. There are 2 options for the title. I haven't finished off the art brief yet. |

‘Ping!’ the second penguin said and he waved his wing.
‘Ping!’ the first penguin replied, after a moment. He waved his wing too.
Spread 4
The first penguin continued to build his castle. The second penguin watched the first penguin for a while. ‘Ping?’ the second penguin asked.
The first penguin looked thoughtful and then replied, ‘Ping.’
Spread 5
The second penguin helped the first penguin. Together they made lots of sand blocks. The castle grew bigger.
Spread 6
The first penguin went to get more wet sand. He saw a boat. He called the second penguin. They went to look at the boat.

They brought some fish. The boat penguin ate the fish.

(a/w the new blocks are rectangular in shape, which the boat penguin makes with his own wings)
Spread 11
