Mr Hallam is the teacher in our Year Four class. Our PE day is Wednesday.

Class Saint

St David. Patron Saint of Wales. Feast day is 1st March. 

David was born about 520 near St. Bride’s Bay, Pembrokeshire, Wales. There is very little known about his life. David was the son of a leader named Sant and Non, a woman who later was named a saint.

David became a Christian priest. He then lived on an island for many years to study the Bible.

Once he left the island, David founded a monastery, or religious house, at Mynyw (Menevia) in southwestern Wales. Life at David’s monastery was very strict. The monks who lived there had to work very hard. They were rarely allowed to speak. They ate only bread with vegetables and salt. They drank only water.

David founded many churches throughout southern Wales. He later moved the center of the church government from Caerleon to Mynyw. David died in about 600 in Mynyw.

St David, Pray for us
