How this would be used in a primary school

This kind of thing could be used in a primary school to encourage children to share about what they did on the weekend or over the school holidays. Although I wouldn't expect most children to have their own email account; their parents most likely do and it would be useful for them to learn how to use things like email software for the future.
However it would be easy for this kind of thing to become abused/get out of control. Things such as security and safeguarding become a major issue and children might use it as a subtle form of cyberbullying, which makes it even harder for the teacher to control.
