A jotting is usually short details of significant events, behaviours or conversations. It can be a couple of sentences to no longer than a paragraph at most. Jottings are a quick and easy way to record significant events and behaviours.

Ref: Different Types Of Observation Methods

Regarding the interpretation you can use the outcomes from the EYLF. Choose the outcomes which you believe the child is achieving through what you had observed. There is no right or wrong it's up to you in which outcomes you should apply:

Children Achieving Outcomes

Hope this helps!
