I haven't heard of this method before! Here is some information for you on this type of documentation:
Snapshot observations

This method is a variation on written narrative, and has been used widely by early years settings. The idea is that the child is observed very briefly, for perhaps a minute or so, because the adult has seen something of interest that the child is doing or has decided in advance that the child needs to be seen in a particular area of play or showing a particular skill. This short observation is often written onto a sticky note. Snapshot observations are also used as the starting point of the ‘learning journey’ method of assessment and planning.

Ref: Observation and Assessment (refer to page 14 for "Snapshot")


Hope this helps,
