Planning From Children's Interests

This is something I don't feel I've done very well this year and would really like to work on it next year but I'm a bit apprehensive about how it works (I'm the kind of person who plans everything ) So, I've been trying to come up some thoughts which will help me manage it. One of my main concerns is that I have a mixed YR/1 class and I'm worried that if I'm following children's interests the whole time I might never get around to teaching the Y1s the things they 'need' to cover. Based on my experience of the ones I'm keeping this year their chief interests are digging and cutting paper up into very small pieces to be sprinkled all over the carpet! I'm wondering, for example, about making the starting point a question/title about a Y1 type topic I think I'd be unlikely to get them to lead on to e.g. a historical famous person and then ensuring that there are some specific NC history objectives which will get covered - I can find it easier to come up with the creative activities which may link into this. Can I come up with a starting question/theme and have some ideas for a few weeks just in case the children don't come up with anything themselves? How long does a topic/theme last for? Or is that a 'How long is a piece of string?' question?! I've just spent some time reading a thread on learning walls that was on here - really, really interesting and useful - is this part of what planning from children's interests means? I.e. they comment that tigers are a kind of cat so you plan various tiger related activities. (sorry can't remember whose example that was - Cait?) Any reassurance/thoughts/comments very welcome indeed - I feel somewhat at sea on this one. Sorry if this is really garbled - have been doing a lot of school related stuff today and my brain is getting frazzled!
