Thank you all for your replies I now have a good understanding of how the model works.
I think I was confused because a lot of the beginner tutorials I have read use methods like fetchAll and update in the controller. So I made the mistake of thinking that the controller is where the action happens and the model was some sort of data access layer. Whereas now it makes sense that the work should happen in the model itself. For anyone reading this I thought Pádraic Bradys blog article "The M in MVC: Why Models are Misunderstood and Unappreciated." was particuarly useful in explianing the model.
