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.
