Predicting, Inferring and Exploring Vocabulary

I am learning to predict, make inferences and explore the vocabulary 



I found explaining the meanings in the text hard to do.  Next time I could talk about it in my group and share our ideas.

I am learning to recognise the value of NZ coins, to add, total and give change.
