Miracle twins Reece and Matthew Shadick settle into primary school as they pose for our must-have First Class supplement - free in Friday's paper.

The cheeky duo fought for survival alongside Callan Durkin when they spent three months in incubators at the special care baby unit at Medway Maritime Hospital.

All three are now making friends at All Faiths School, in Strood, after starting in reception last month.

Reece and Matthew were born at 26 weeks, with just a 10% chance of surviving. Reece weighed 2lb 1oz and Matthew weighed 2lb 6oz.

Callan was born at 32 weeks, weighing 3lb 14oz. All three boys spent three months at the Oliver Fisher unit.

Reece and Matthew are pictured alongside friend Nehir for our First Class supplement, full of pictures of your child's first days at school.
