What will be the 'new normal' for schools?

I know it could be a long while before schools reopen, but it's inevitable that things will be far from normal when they do. What do you think the major changes will be?

@briochebriochebrioche - thank you for the info from France. I can see primary schools in the UK adopting a similar structure to this and, I agree, it will be very difficult for everyone. If there is no second spike in France, I can see us opening schools in a similar way in June.

I'm really not sure how this could work at my DD's primary as it is a large 5 form entry school of over 1k DC. So if the DC can only go out to play with their class that would be 35 different playtimes. They do have large grounds so could have more than one group out at once - one group in the woodland area, one on the playground, field etc. I think there's about 8 areas they could use so still 5 seperate playtimes/lunch. I suppose they'd just get a lot less time outside to play. Drop off and pick up would take forever if everyone has to queue 2m apart to drop off/pick up hundreds of children!
