I remember getting my first look through a scope under similar circumstances at primary school (although a bit older than 5) when our teacher got an amateur to bring his scope to the school one night. We had a slide show to start off and then went outside when it was dark enough to look through the scope. The main thing I recall was the visual experience and the wow factor. That's probably what sparked my initial interest in astronomy. So I agree with others. Keep it simple and mainly stick to the visual stuff.
Cheers,
Greg
