The children in the final year at Salford 's Primrose Hill Primary School are the first to return after the government pushed ahead with its plan to ease lockdown .
Knowing it 's an uncertain time for many families , headteacher Lee Ashton turned into an army sergeant for a video shared with pupils ahead of their first day today , Tuesday .
In it , he shows them what changes have been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'the rules we have put in place will help you keep safe ' .
He shows them what entrance to use - reminding them not to feed the dinosaurs that have been painted in the grounds of the school - and what signs to look out for when they arrive .
Each child has been placed into ' a bubble ' of no more than 15 children , with each group having their own designated toilet block , certain areas have been blocked off and desks in classrooms are spaced out .
`` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the playground telling you where to stand , it is very important you follow those rules , '' says Mr Ashton , in the video posted on YouTube .
`` Do not try to get into school until your bubble leader has called you , '' he adds .
And he warns children that things will look different to how they were before .
`` There will be signs telling you places where you are not allowed to go anymore , '' he says .
`` The classrooms will look every different @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when you first come in .

It might not seem it as first glance, but one headteacher has taken a lighthearted approach to getting his Year 6 pupils back to school.
The children in the final year at Salford's Primrose Hill Primary School are the first to return after the government pushed ahead with its plan to ease lockdown.
Knowing it's an uncertain time for many families, headteacher Lee Ashton turned into an army sergeant for a video shared with pupils ahead of their first day today, Tuesday.
In it, he shows them what changes have been made to the Ordsall school, saying 'the rules we have put in place will help you keep safe'.

He shows them what entrance to use - reminding them not to feed the dinosaurs that have been painted in the grounds of the school - and what signs to look out for when they arrive.
Each child has been placed into 'a bubble' of no more than 15 children, with each group having their own designated toilet block, certain areas have been blocked off and desks in classrooms are spaced out.
"On Tuesday morning there will be signs in the playground telling you where to stand, it is very important you follow those rules," says Mr Ashton, in the video posted on YouTube.
"Do not try to get into school until your bubble leader has called you," he adds.

And he warns children that things will look different to how they were before.
"There will be signs telling you places where you are not allowed to go anymore," he says.
"The classrooms will look every different so please don't be too shocked when you first come in.
"The classes have been spaced out so that you can keep a good distance between the other people in your bubble."
Each desk has its own equipment and there are reminders about cleanliness.

He adds: "During the day we'll be expecting you to wash your hands at least five times and we'll be cleaning your tables and chairs twice a day.
"Please realise that you may not be with your friends in your bubble and you may not be with your class teacher. We have done this to keep everybody safe and to make sure that no more than 15 children are in one bubble at any time."
At certain points in the day children will be asked to 'make like a tree' and stand with their arms stretched far apart to ensure they are keeping enough distance from others.
"Please keep calm and don't worry about coming back to school," he says.

The head told the M.E.N he's pleased with the reaction the video has had from parents and pupils - and promises they'll be more to come for the younger children starting back.
He said: “Over the last few weeks I have dressed up as various things - including a pirate, a jungle explorer and an artist - and recorded videos for the children in order to help me keep a connection with them.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-06-03--People parked illegally near Dovestone Reservoir will now be fined £70

Bosses have used emergency powers to introduce £70 fines for motorists parking on the road to Dovestone Reservoir after 13,000 people visited in just three days .
Oldham council is urging visitors to the beauty spot to ‘ act responsibly ’ following yesterday ’ s devastating fire which destroyed a large area of moorland and wildlife near to Holmfirth Road .
At its height the fire covered an area of around 600 square metres of Saddleworth Moor near the reservoir , Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service said .
Town hall chiefs and police say they are now taking action @ @ @ @ @ @ @ parking restrictions around the reservoir – and fear the easing of coronavirus lockdown could worsen issues .
From Saturday , June 6 , double yellow lines will be marked along both sides of A635 Holmfirth Road .
Anyone who illegally parks a vehicle on this stretch of road will now face a fine of £70 .
The restrictions , introduced under emergency powers , will seek to tackle issues caused by daytrippers to the site , including blocking the road , pavement , and parking across access points .
There are already existing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , which means people face getting points on their licence and a police fine if they park on them , but this has not proved a deterrent .
Anyone who ignores the restrictions could now potentially be fined twice .
Council leader Sean Fielding said there had always been a problem with parking at Dovestone but in recent weeks it has got a ‘ lot worse ’ .
“ Last week 13,000 cars visited the area over three days – there are only around 150 parking spaces available .
We had vehicles double @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not have been able to get through , ” he said .
“ People may ask why we haven ’ t done this sooner but putting double yellow lines on a road is always the last option .
“ They wouldn ’ t be needed if drivers parked responsibly and kept to the rules of the road .
Hopefully , they will act as a proper deterrent .
“ Dovestone is extremely busy – you may what to think of going somewhere else as you could be sat in your car queuing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If you do , respect the place and residents who live there .
Act responsibly and don ’ t take barbecues up as you are potentially putting lives , the countryside and wildlife at risk.
” The order will cover from the roundabout at the Clarence pub to the borough boundary .
It also includes a loading ban to prevent blue badge holders from parking .
Some of the side road junctions will also be covered to deal with the effects of displaced parking .
Chief Inspector Claire Galt , of GMP ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We have been working closely with the community safety partnership and have had to commit significant resources to this area , particularly since the easing of lockdown , in response to the dangerous ways that some visitors have been parking their cars , which in turn causes risk to other road users and pedestrians .

“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and educate them on the risks and have used cones and posters to act as a deterrent .
But unfortunately , some people still continue to park dangerously , leaving us no other option than to issue fixed penalty notices.

Coun Fielding thanked firefighters and council staff for their swift response .
“ Services are already stretched due to the coronavirus and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anyone needed , ” he said .
Last year the council introduced a Public Spaces Protection Order banning fires and barbecues on the moors following a number of blazes over the last few years .
