Glad I can help
!In regards to the input icons all they are there for is to let others know where the activity you planned came from. Think about it this way... Where did the activity idea come from? Who initiated it? There should always be a reason why you put an activity onto your curriculum plan and using the input icons are part of validating the reason (along with adding the learning outcomes).
When referring to a child interest it's related to what a child is interested in (typically a theme). Such as zoo animals, trains, planes, ocean animals etc that you are able to extend upon... as for child input it could be an activity or a piece of equipment that a child has specifically asked for. For e.g. if you had play dough and shape cutters out as part of an activity and a child asks for scissors to use during play dough play then "Adding Scissors to Play dough" will be inputed as child input on your curriculum plan.
I hope this clears your confusion,
Cheers
