How can I stop my new IPad mini 4 from auto rotating the screen?

Can't find any options in settings and the home button doesn't bring any solutions. It's annoying me, help please

On the Home screen, slide up from the bottom to bring up the Control Center. Tap the icon on right which is a padlock with a circle arrow around it. That is the rotation lock.

Note that you will see the Rotation Lock icon near the battery indicator when it is active.
