Dear Mum,

Even though it’s been a day, it feels like a year! I miss you so much! I will tell you what I did to get here.
So, after I got on the train, I sat at the window seat and pinched myself to make sure I was not dreaming! I was so scared. A girl sat across from me but we didn’t talk.
When we got off the train, there were loads of people! It was startling. But we got off the train. I didn’t know where we where but I saw a sign saying, ‘Welcome to Whalley ’ so I assumed we were there. People started picking us as children like we were clothes. About half way during the selection process, I was picked! Mrs Karen picked me. We went to her home. It looked like a farm though, and she showed me my room. I don’t know what I expected but it was lot more then this. Luckily, I have a desk so I can write to you. Mrs Karen is currently making food and I’m about to see the animals so I have to go. Bye for now.

From Sandra.
