How to delete photos on device without delete it from icloud photo library?

Hi, I've got a new iphone 6 so I'm going to give my old iphone 5 away so how can I delete my photos on my old device without delete it from my iCloud photo library? By the way, I wonder how to transfer my photos from the old device to the new one too.

Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 8.3

Connect the old device to a computer and open iTunes.

Click on the phone icon in the upper part of the iTunes window and you'll see a backup to computer option. Do it to the old device and then erase the device to factory settings before giving it away.

Connect the new phone to the same computer and "restore" it from the backup you just made.
