This sounds pretty much like an education spin, doesn't it? If you're 
interested, some folks (including me) have been working within the EDU 
SIG at Fedora on such a thing: [1]

It's based on XFCE, but includes nevertheless the (imo very amazing set 
of) KDE education apps and also some other related software.

There's still Sugar missing - for now. I'm wondering, how a 
collaboration would be useful and whether this couldn't be profitable 
for both projects... ;)
