Hello,
Does it have to be Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a reference work for
"everybody", but not especially written for pupils in the primary
education.
We discussed this kind of issues at the foundation of the Klexikon, see our
report in English:

Hi all,
I've started working on a paper with folks who ran a fascinating project
called "Wikipedia Primary School" [1] where they investigated different
mechanisms or models for eliciting and developing Wikipedia content that
was relevant to the South African national primary school curriculum. We
are currently writing a paper that assesses each of the different types
of
"interventions" that were tested/tried
out in trying to fill in these
gaps
- including editathons, contests and
collaborations with scientific
journals. It seems as though there are a host of different types of
models
that are used to fill in Wikipedia's gaps
beyond the original "volunteer
edits what interests them in their spare time" model (e.g. Wikipedians in
residence, editing Wikipedia as part of class assignments). If anyone has
any good references to work already undertaken in this area please let me
know!
Many thanks,
Heather.
