More FM car challenge

Room 10 were lucky enough to be chosen to be in the competition with More FM. They had to try and fit as many students in to the Ford Eco Sport as possible! We thought that would be easy when the record was set at 26! By the time we did it, the most was 48 (set by Onekawa school)! We used our maths problem solving about capacity and volume and managed to stack 45 students in on Thursday afternoon! We had practised squashing and stacking in class on the mat! We asked Room 9 to join us and a few helpers and family members from Bruno 's family. His Mum entered us in the competition and we have to wait until Monday to find out who wins the big prize!
THE PRIZE... A visit from the ALL BLACKS to our school! 
We hope we get drawn out from all the schools that took part. Thanks, Sophie for this exciting opportunity!
We had to work together and be considerate and helpful - all key competences we have been trying to improve! 
Have a look on More FM's Facebook page for photos of this event. They were loading our school's photos on Friday.
It was such a lot of fun. Lots of classes came out to watch us. We hope we get the All Blacks to our school!
