Just wondering what your childrens classes are named after in primary school?  Our primary school uses bird names which I love, there are painted murals of the birds on the wall of the school hall ...... but they want to change the names which makes me :(

Birds sound lovely.  Ours are just the year number followed bybthe teachers initials!  Not very imaginative :(

Birds here too, and the school has a bird in the name too named after the area we are in! Lovely and there are murals on the walls and doors, and their is a class mascot of each bird in the classes. They incorporate the names in lots of activities.

Shame they want to change the in yours, perhaps there should be a child/parent campaign to keep them

Must be a common theme, birds here too and the school logo is a bird.  I think it is lovely and I remember DS being fascinated by peregrines when he was in peregrines class.

They’re just Year names at our school, but maybe because there’s only one class in each year so no need for names? They have houses, which are a mixture of years, and those are named after local places - River Aire, Shipley Glen, Baildon Moor, and Salts Mill, I think those are right anyway. I like that as it gives the children a sense of “place” if you know what I mean x.

Also boring numbers and letters for classes here but 3 houses which go across the whole school are dragons, griffins and lions Lots of competitions are inter house from handwriting, poetry, art, music as well as all the sports. Dds house has just won the most credits for the term so they have a ‘house feast’ which is basically party food at the end of one day in the first week of next term. I think its a really good way of helping children from different years get to know each other, dd certainly looks up to the children in the top year (year 8)

Wow, would have loved dragons griffins and lions, so cool!  Harry’s class is just boring as well, but their school houses are Vikings, Saxons and Danes.
