School's out for summer and this end of term is extra special for five sisters.

For the past year the Hamid siblings - Kolsuma, 12, Hazera, ten, Maryam, nine, Jamila, seven, and Bushra, five, - have all attended Arduthie Primary in Stonehaven.

But from August, Kolsuma will start as a first year at the town's Mackie Academy.

On Friday the sisters made the walk to school together for the last time. Here's what they had to say:

Hazera: "It's funny because we all get our names mixed up by teachers."

Mayram: "I will miss Kolsuma, but we'll still all see each other at home."

Bushra: "I like being at school with all my sisters. And I like doing maths."

Teachers said the five girls had been a welcome addition to the school.

"Obviously as a family group they are very special ... because we haven't had five children in school before - and I've done 40 years of teaching now," said head teacher Maxine Cottiss.

"The girls have been an absolute joy."

It's been a day of mixed emotions for the girls parents.

"It's a blessing for me to have five daughters, they're great kids," said their dad, Abdul.

"They have a great sense of humour. The school has given them a kick-start in life.

"I just hope they have the same humour as they grow older and they can contribute back to the community - and that will be the success of my life.

"It's quite remarkable that they've all been at the same school at the same time."

The girls' mum, Tahmida added: "I'm very happy, we're very proud parents."
