Child-initiated 'topic'

My school has recently moved to a new structure for long-term planning for my Reception/Y1 class. The idea is that for the first 3-4 weeks of each half-term there is a designated topic in order to ensure that the Y1 get the National Curriculum coverage they are meant to and then for the last 2-3 weeks I have a 'child-initiated topic' to allow for greater child-led work (I am still being child-led during the first 3-4 weeks but less so). I'm just about to embark on my first one and I'm nervous! The ideas I have so far are either something on bees - they have been fascinated by bees in particular during our minibeast work and also love 'Bee Movie' so was thinking of something around that. The other possibility was related to floods - we had a torrential downpour last week at school and after reassuring several of them that we weren't going to be flooded they were fascinated by watching flood videos, building flood shelters etc. Do you think either of these would work? And, do you have any ideas how I could start things? I'm not asking for people to do my planning for me, I'm just really not sure how to do it given that neither I nor the children have really done things this way before!
