Pupils have started returning to schools in England as major changes are made to lockdown restrictions.
It is part of a wider easing of measures that will also see groups of up to six people allowed to meet in public places or private gardens and outdoor markets and car showrooms re-open.
The new rules in England see primary school children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 return to class while the Government and education unions continue to fight over whether it is safe to do so.
An announcement on schools in Wales is expected later this week. Education minister Kirsty Williams said she hopes for a national approach to schools re-opening, but local differences and the design of schools must be considered.
Plans for pupils to return to school in August have been abandoned by the Welsh Government, according to a teaching union.
The secretary of the National Education Union Cymru (NEUC) claimed that plans to reopen schools in Wales in August had been considered by the Welsh Government.
Research has shown that parents in England are also reluctant to send their children back, with school leaders expecting 46% of families to keep pupils at home.
Findings from a recent PA news agency survey of local authorities show that more than 20 councils across England - predominantly in the north - are also advising schools not to open to more pupils this week.
Some of those polled have claimed that the NHS Test and Trace system will not be "robust enough" to allay fears over the potential spreading of the virus due to difficulty maintaining social distancing.
But as children did return to school in some parts of England, this is how it looked.

Children urged to keep their distance:
Penny Sheppard, head teacher of Queen’s Hill Primary and Nursery School near Norwich, said ensuring her young charges were following the two-metre guidance had been tricky.
“I’ve explained (to parents) that social distancing is very difficult,” she said.
“I think it was two weeks into childcare, I had to explain to a mum that their child had had a nosebleed because somebody had elbowed them.
“I said it shouldn’t have happened - if we kept two metres from each other that would never have happened.
“Parents know what their children are like and they’ve been very understanding.
“We are teaching the children constantly about washing their hands, hygiene is really important for us.
“As long as we’ve got all those things in place I think that’s the most important thing.”
Meanwhile, Children's Commissioner Anne Longfield has called on the Government to set up summer classes in July and August to help children catch up on work they missed during lockdown, with some facing up to six months off school depending on when they are able to return.
Writing in The Daily Telegraph, she said summer schools could help the "most deprived" and "provide activities of all kinds, meals and potentially some learning too".
In Scotland, teachers can return to schools from Monday to prepare for the start of the new school year on August 11, when pupils will do a mixture of at-home and in-school learning.
In Northern Ireland, ministers there have already ruled out a return of schools before the summer, with the Education Minister there saying the first batch of pupils will start to return from late August.
