How tall is the tallest Lego Tower?

Someone is always building big new things out of Lego, and this Lego record is an exciting one: the world's tallest Lego tower. Built in Budapest, Hungary out of 450,000 bricks, it stands over 34 metres high.

Here are some questions:
Koru whanau:
Yr 1: If the tower uses blue, red, green, white and yellow bricks, how many colours is that?
Yr 2: The tower was finished on a Wednesday and stood for only 5 days. On what day was it taken down?
Kowhai whanau: If you're in charge of adding 70 bricks onto the tower, and you're counting the bricks by 10s, what numbers do you say? Can you write a number story for this?
Kauri whanau:If the 450,000-brick tower uses 5 colours equally, how many bricks of each color does it use?

What other questions could you create from this amazing lego tower?  Please comment below.

Welcome to rainy Rāapa

Today's challenge is an extention of yesterday's challenge. Finlay answered 50 students could stand in the room, if they are all standing in a square, how could that work? Please draw, take a photo of your thinking. Can you see a pattern forming?

Exciting number today!
