"Hello Year 5!
I would like to congratulate the four children that have started on Duolingo. There is one student with over 400XP points already! I look forward to seeing the progress of everyone else that would like to join the challenge. If you missed the challenge and would like more information, click here.
Please make sure that you put your first name as your username so that I know who you are and can include you in the prizes when we return to school.
Adios!"
