I was hoping someone else would weigh in. I have a few ideas, but I 
don't really have step by step instructions, so if this isn't what you 
want then just ignore it and hopefully someone else will have step by 
step instructions they can post.

First, if you just want VoiceOver to stop speaking notifications that 
appear on your lock screen then you can go into Settings -> General -> 
Accessibility -> VoiceOver and toggle speak notifications on the lock 
screen to off.

Second, if you want to turn all notifications off across the board then 
go into the Control Panel by touching the top of your screen and 
activating a status icon and then doing a three finger swipe up. In the 
Control Center, toggle do not disturb to on.

Finally, you can turn off notifications on an app by app basis by going 
into Settings -> Notification Center and double tapping on an app. You 
can take it out of the Notification Center and off of the lock screen if 
you want.
