Scraping the attribute of the first child from multiple div (selenium)

I'm trying to scrap the class name of the first child (span) from multiple div.

Here is the html code:

<div class="ui_column is-9">
   <span class="name1></span>
   <span class="...">...</span>
   ...
<div class ="ui_column is-9">
   <span class="name2></span>
   <span class="...">...</span>
   ...
<div class ..

URL of the page for the complete code.

I'm achieving this task with this code for the first five div:

i=0
liste=[]

while i <= 4: 

    parent= driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='ui_column is-9']")[i]    
    child= parent.find_element_by_xpath("./child::*")                              
    class_name= child.get_attribute('class')                                  
    i = i+1
    liste.append(nom_classe)

But do you know if there is an easier way to do it ?

You can directly get all these first span elements and then extract their class attribute values as following:

liste = []
first_spans = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='ui_column is-9']//span[1]")
for element in first_spans:
    class_name= element.get_attribute('class')
    liste.append(class_name)

You can also extract the class attribute values from 5 first elements only by limiting the loop for 5 iterations
UPD
Well, after updating your question the answer becomes different and much simpler.
You can get the desired elements directly and extract their class name attribute values as following:

liste = []
first_spans = driver.find_elements_by_xpath("//div[@class='ui_column is-9']//span[contains(@class,'ui_bubble_rating')]")
for element in first_spans:
    class_name= element.get_attribute('class')
    liste.append(class_name)
