What are the classes in your kids primary school named after?

[KindergartenKop]

When I was a child they were just classes 1-9. Now they have cool and funky names. My kids' school names them after scientists. What are yours called?

Birds

Current school: woodland animals (Hedgehogs, Owls etc)

Previous schools: birds (Robins, Swallows etc) and zoo animals (Lions, Meerkats etc)

Animals. Small animals for the youngest years but getting bigger as they go up the school.

Countries. Ranging from India to Wales, Australia to Canada. Even the nursery classes are countries.

In my primary school they were the year and then teacher's initial - so Mrs Smith's year 2 class would've been 2Y.

Er... 2S, obviously.

Current primary school: started as animals; tadpoles, squirrels, giraffes. Then sweets: flying saucers, jelly tots. Now they are just Reception then numbers.

My primary school was just numbers and secondary started as year number then tutor initials eg. 7FH, 8FCW and then changed to year number and house initial which was from the surname of the house mascot who were all important women, Nightingale, Rowling etc. It was an all girls school.

Eldest’s secondary seems to be year number then house initial then another letter and number or two letters, not managed to work out what they stand for yet

The Houses are named after famous explorers, (so is the school.) The classes have the names of trees.

Reservoirs ...randomly

Composers

Colours of the rainbow. With reception actually being called rainbow.

Animals.
Butterflies and Ladybirds.
Penguins and Owls.
Lions and Tigers.

Trees at our school - Oak, Willow, Birch

Planets.

DD went to a small village school with mixed year classes, her classes were just 1- 5, no names.

Trees, willow ect. X

I’ve worked in schools who have used scientists and colour/weather eg blue raindrops, yellow sunshine etc and tree names.

Year number + teachers initials. At my primary, just numbers 1-7.

At my primary each class was named after the teachers initial e.g. Mrs Smiths reception class was RS, Mr Jones' Y1 class was 1J etc etc

House names (only relevant on sports day) were taken from nearby roads

Sea animals

At infants, trees and then animals. At juniors it was year group and teacher initial.
My DS's year 4 teacher's name started with a 'Q' and when needing to get their attention, teacher would call out 'year 4', as for obvious reasons '4Q' was not considered appropriate

It used to be just the teachers name but then they changed it to colours. But not red, blue, yellow etc. We have emerald, sapphire, coral, indigo, ruby and the best one........amethyst! 80% of grown ups can't spell it, how on earth they expect yr 2 to remember I have no idea!

R, 1, 2, 3 etc.

Mixed year classes all named after progressively bigger plants:
Primrose - bracken - hawthorn - oak
