Norway reopened schools for the 250,000 pupils in the first five years on Monday, a week after reopening kindergartens.
Here's how it went.
Students at Levre school in Baerum, west of Oslo, were greeted with a Norwegian flag, and a rainbow posted to the door to welcome them when they arrived on Monday.

While pupils were met by staff, there was none of the orderly queuing and exact spacing seen when Denmark opened schools on April 15.

Classes have been divided into groups of 15, but within those groups they do not need to be too distant, as here at Vikåsen school in Trondheim.

In each classroom, schools had moved students desks further apart to reduce the risk of spreading the infection. Here are some third grade students at Nordstrand Steinerskole school in Oslo.
