A better translation would be "We have finished cleaning our classroom." This properly reflects that the "finishing" was in the past. When one says "We have cleaned our classroom" it suggests that "We are finished cleaning our classroom" which is more of a present tense for the verb "to finish".

@moderator: arcticmonkey has linked this sentence to http://tatoeba.org/fre/sentences/show/398031 but they don't say the same thing:
our classroom≠ des Klassenraumes

The problem with this case, where somebody else linked the sentences, is that this person doesn't receive any warning that it was wrong as it is not possible to comment the link...

@sacredceltic: I've already sent him a private message drawing his attention to a comment I've made on the German sentence.
