Role Play

A quick one really, but I was just wondering how long everyone has a particular topic based role-play area set-up? Where I am about to begin teaching, they appear to have changed this weekly or fortnightly, all related to the topic for the term. eg. house, shop, travel agents.

Help please I am very confused, Please could someone explain to me is Child Initiated Activities the same as Adult Initiated. The other teacher in my year- FS_N/R who has a degree in Early Years- NQT tells me she plans her 80% child initiated time- and showed me her planning. her planning tells me exactly what is going in the sand, water, at every table, on computer, in reading area, outside, on carpet etc. So on a Friday night she decides what activity the childrne will be playing with on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday (usually they are the same the whole week).
