Children at a Southgate school took part in a "skippathon" on Wednesday to raise money for charity.
The students, at Wolfson Hillel Primary School in Chase Road, raised more than £200 for the British Heart Foundation and the charity Reuth, which is based in Israel, and provides rehabilitation to people in need of care.
The children dressed in green, brown and floral clothes to mark the Jewish festival of Tu Bishvat on Wednesday, which celebrates trees, flowers and fruits.
The event was part of programme at the school to encourage the children to live a healthy lifestyle.
