Dear mum, I have made lots of new friends here. I get a small room to myself because the others that I thought were going to be in my room went missing. It is nice having your own room because you don’t have to sleep with other kids, the other rooms are stuffed full, with 12-15 children in each room. I am so lucky to be here instead of an old rusty shed. I hope you and dad are going to be okay. When I wake up I feel I am further and further away from you but I will not forget you. In the mornings all of us are woken up by a bell that is rung at 6:45 every morning. My first job is to scrub the dishes with an old cleaning brush, then, I go outside and rummage in the bushes for hens’ nests to get eggs. That is what I do to earn my breakfast. Then after, if we eat all our breakfast and have been good all morning we get to play in the garden or go to my room to play. In the afternoon we hang up the the washing and squeeze it out. In the evening we just eat supper and go to bed. Love you.
