Two sets of triplets start at Shrewsbury school
Teachers at a primary school in Shrewsbury have had their hands full this week, after two sets of triplets joined the same class.
Youngsters Toby, Tulip and Violet Tiernan and their friends Finley, Corey and Archie Holden all started at Sundorne Infant School in Corndon Crescent, yesterday.
The six youngsters, who are all three-years-old, have gone from being playmates to classmates as they all began their education in the same nursery class.
It is a busy time for the triplets' mothers Rachel Holden and Carly Edwards, both 31, from Whitchurch Road and Sundorne Grove respectively. The pair also went to school together. Miss Edwards, mother to Toby, Tulip and Violet, said: "I went to school with Rachel and we have known each other a long time. Our partners play football together.
We both found out quite early on we were having triplets and supported each other through it.
"Mine were born in December and Rachel's were born in September. We live close together and see a lot of each other. Being a mum to triplets is very busy," she added.
