3-D matrix operations

I have a 5X126 matrix that I am splitting into a [5,21,6] matrix using reshape. I want to average the values of neighboring columns in each of these submatrices and store them into a final 3-d matrix that will be [5 20 6]. How can i write a for loop to do this?
I am very new to Matlab so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

"I want to average the values of neighboring columns" is a little ambiguous, if we consider a smaller example, such as the following 5 by 5 matrix
>> M = randi(10,[5 5])
M =
8 9 2 4 6
1 8 1 5 9
9 6 10 7 4
10 2 4 1 5
10 4 3 9 1
Is this the output you're expecting on each page as follows:
>> result = M(:,1:end-1) + diff(M,1,2)./2
result =
8.5000 5.5000 3.0000 5.0000
4.5000 4.5000 3.0000 7.0000
7.5000 8.0000 8.5000 5.5000
6.0000 3.0000 2.5000 3.0000
7.0000 3.5000 6.0000 5.0000

Assuming that for the average of columns you want the result that Turlough specified, then
RefBloAvg = movmean(RefBlock,[0 1],2);
RefBloAvg(:,end,:) = [];
Note that this does not need to be in a loop of any kind. It works on the entire array at once.

Here's the method I was suggesting. The idea is to take the first value and add half the difference (effectively interpolating)
RefBloAvg = RefBlock(:,1:end-1,:) + diff(RefBlock,1,2)./2;
