Alyssa checked her parchment to see what were the remaining twigs she needed to collect



Alyssa next came across the Poplar tree, and reached up and broke off a twig from its branches. She then headed for the next tree that had been labelled Blackthorn. Reaching up, Alyssa pulled down a branch, snapped a twig off from it before letting the branch swing up. Holding the two twigs in her hand, she made her way to the next tree labelled nearby and saw that it had been labelled Gorse. She quickly but gently broke off a twig from its branches before putting that and the rest of the twigs she had collected into her backpack, adding them to those already in her bag.

Walking onwards, Alyssa arrived at the Hawthorn tree. She looked up and saw how far it stretched up in the sky. Reaching up on tiptoes, Alyssa managed to grab a branch with her fingertips and pull it down low enough for her to break off a twig from it. Release the branch, it sprang up to join its companions. Alyssa next walked over to the tree that was labelled, Heather and leaned over to pulled down a branch from which she broke off a twig.

Dropping the twigs she had collected into her bag, Alyssa looked at her list and realized that she only had to collect twigs from the Blackthorn and Hazel tree and then she would be done. So she looked around trying to find the last two trees.

Then she spotted them at the far end of the group of trees. She ran over to the Blackthorn and broke off a twig from it before walking over to the last tree on her list, the Hazel Tree. Alyssa looked around until she saw a branch that she could reach and got on her tiptoes and grabbed it with her fingers. Stretching as high as she could, she broke off a twig from the branch.

Now that she had the twigs of the Blackthorn and the Hazel Tree, Alyssa opened her bag and dropped them inside. Then she took her parchment and lined out what she had collected to make sure that she had not missed any out.



She noticed that she still had the Vine, Reed and Ivy to collect before she realized Professor Elwood had told them that she had some in the tins. Satisfied that she had collected all she could, Alyssa went back to where the Professor waited for them. She walked over to the tins where the Professor had placed them and reached in pulled out a twig from each of them. Vine, Reed and Ivy. Her list was now completed.
